Same issue here. Ubuntu 16.04. Moving 500 images (totalling only 130mb) takes >5 minutes and only shows the "preparing to move" dialogue. Exact same thing in Thunar takes only a few (~3) seconds!
Tested on a SATA III connected Samsung 840 SSD. I experienced the same issue across multiple devices with different storage media. Also it does not matter if it is Drag and Droped or copy and pasted. -- 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/1133477 Title: cut-n-paste move files got stuck forever To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1133477/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
