I'm constantly getting this problem in Ubuntu 16.04. Moving 608 jpg files to a sub-folder of the current folder has just taken ages (15 minutes? - certainly long enough for me to find this thread and compose this comment while I was waiting for the move to complete).
The "Preparing to move n files" message very slowly decreases the value of n indicating that there is some progress being made but it should never take this long. It's getting to the point where I'll always boot into Windows rather than Ubuntu just in case I need to move some files. -- 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
