I observed this issue when opening a file selector in Chrome and Firefox.
It took about 10 seconds to open a file selector, and moving to a subdirectory
also took several seconds.
This issue didn't occur in other applications such as gedit and Files, so it
may be different from the one discussed
I also had the same problem on Zorin OS, and the suggestion from #18 fixed it.
It's been a while since I tried that fix, but the steps are as follows if my
memory serves:
1. `sudo apt remove xdg-desktop-portal-gnome`
2. Log out and then log in
```
$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Zorin OS 17.
I also have the same problem on Ubuntu 24.04.2 when accessing files with
Files, saving files in Chrome, Thunderbird, ...
I did the suggestion in comment #18 and it may have made a marginal
improvement (hard to tell with the variable nature of this issue) but
certainly hasn't fully resolved it

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 24.04.2 when using Firefox (136.0.3)
or Chrome (134.0.6998.165).
Sometimes file selection (including folder navigation), whether for
download or upload, takes so long that the system reports failure in
both browsers and asks if I want to wait or quit.

I am also affected. I upgraded from 22.04 in the last month, and was not
having this problem at all pre-upgrade.

I'm sorry to say, comment #18 did nothing for me. This is an ongoing and
annoying problem.

Wow. I have been having this problem for some time as well. I generally
noticed it when opening `~/Downloads` from chrome, but file pickers were
similarly slow.
The suggestion from comment #18 fixed this -immediately-.

Surprisingly, this seems to help with the issue:
sudo apt remove xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

I'm also having this issue with the gtk file selector after upgrading
from 22.04 to 24.04.
Nautilus was also very slow to open folders with many files, switched to
Nemo because it was too frustrating. Can't seem to do anything about the
file selector though.

Saving files, uploading, and selecting is so slow, that working with
Ubuntu is unbearable. I can't understand why so basic features have to
be so buggy on linux. And Ubuntu seems to be the most reliable option.

Basically, not only file selector is slow, but nautilus itself is slow.
It takes couple of seconds to open a directory with 20 files. Even if I
disable thumbnails and directory items counting. `ls -la` works
instantly in the same directories.
This started to happen only after update from 22.04 to
Same with 24.04

I'm also encountering this error. It makes uploading any more than two

Same issue. It also appears that "larger" directories (with more files,
subdirs) take longer to open than "smaller" ones. I don't think I
noticed the problem until moving to 23.X.

Same here... It's been months and it makes my desktop nearly unusable
after a day or so... And I need to reboot to fix.
It gets slower and slower with each use of the file selector.

I also have this issue. It is so, so, so slow. This did not happen with
older versions of Ubuntu.

I also have this issue. The first time the file dialog opens (e.g. in
Firefox, when you right-click and do save as on an image) the dialog
appears instantly. However, each subsequent file save seems to take
exponentially longer. To the second time it's 1 second, then 2 seconds,
5 seconds, and keeps
