Today for the first time I have this issue where any app showing a file browser (load/save) dialog box hangs indefinitely until I kill it.
The Finder works just fine however. I can browse everything, iCloud and network locations included, there. I haven't found a common point in the traces where the apps hang, so I'm not sure what might be the cause.
Here's the relevant sample from TeXShop when I tried to save a document (before that I had to kill VLC twice after accidentally hitting Cmd-O; opening a video in a different way was no problem though. At that point I thought it might just be a VLC bug, but I've now discovered it's system-wide)

Any ideas?
It disappeared after restarting, but of course that doesn't mean it won't return…

What version of Yosemite? Am finding installing the Betas clear up these problems that are so hard to trace.
