Interesting note. Even with my Nautilus settings removed, after adding (just) 2GB of files (101785 items) to my "Templates" directory my Nautilus became unbearably slow to a point of becoming unresponsive.
After I moved these same files to "Documents" directory Nautilus went back to normal. I believe this was problem all along, as I would always add same files to my "Templates" directory. This is definitely an upstream bug as I had same problem on different platforms and different Nautilus versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1172904 Title: Nautilus won't start/extremely slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1172904/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
