OK. I linked it to the upstream bug report. Things with Ubuntu 10.10 seem to have improved. Although it depends on the content of the folders.
For example, it takes 38 seconds to open a folder with 15,000 images (.img and .hdr) but only ~6 seconds if the files are .dcm. This is having the "show thumbnails" from Edit/Preferences/Preview/ disabled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869793 Title: Nautilus is very slow when opening folders with many files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/869793/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
