I see no clear test case bug triagers can try to do further research on.
I have no information from syslog, dmesg, or any tracing or anything. Is
this only with images? What's the minimum number or size? I would this
this has something to do with a generic Backend, so we should look for
conditions that are universal across all file managers. Please provide
this so we can continue researching. If there's no clear way to
reproduce, no matter how often this happen or how long it's reported, we
cannot fix this.

Title:
cut-n-paste move files got stuck forever
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in pcmanfm package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
With Nautilus, I navigated to a folder that contained about 2,000 gif files.
I selected all of them
I cut with Ctrl+X
I navigated to another folder
I pasted with Ctrl+V
=> A popup window appeared saying "Preparing to move N files", and it got
stuck there forever.
Nautilus stopped responding. I waited half an hour, then I had to kill it.
Actually some of the files were moved. Which is the worst thing that
could happen.
I tried again with the remaining files and it happened again!! It's
systematic!!!!!!
I suspect it has to do with displaying the previews of a big number of
files. Nautilus becomes completely unmanageable whenever you open
folders with lots of files. Maximum priority should be given to the UI
and actual operations; displaying of the previews should be done in
the background and should never, ever slow down user operations the
slightest bit. Seems pretty obvious.
Also note that 2000 is not even that much. Actually it's very few
files.
