Hey  Szymon!

Nice to read about your nice progress.

Indeed this is bound to fail. What could be done to speed up the
interactivity with the user is to add asynchronous api functions to
libcmis, and have it use the curl multi api... But I'm not sure this could
be done in the remaining time frame for GSoC.

However, it may good to start considering the removal of the remote servers
feature from the internal file picker as your dialog is getting into shape.
