i've updated the description with more info after doing a little more investigations..
** Summary changed: - nautilus takes a while to load up a directory with a lot of images sorted by modification date + nautilus loads the contents of a directory and sorts them at the same time ** Description changed: Binary package hint: nautilus - when i try to open my images directory which is a really huge folder - full of images and subdirectories sorted by modification date, it takes - forever for nautilus to finish loading all the files and their - thumbnails. while it's loading them, the already-loaded thumbnails keep - moving around in every direction rendering the whole window useless for - about a minute or so till it all finishes loading.. + When opening a directory full of images which are sorted by anything other than "manually" (especially modification date which seems to be the worst case) nautilus takes a very long time in the loading process because it starts sorting the files before it fully loads the file list and the thumbnails. + during the loading process, icons (thumbnails) move around in every direction because new files keep popping up in the middle of the file list which makes nautilus act crazy for about a minute or so.. - when i tried to load the same folder in thunar after sorting by - modification date as well, it didn't take any time at all and the folder - loaded up in a second.. the thumbnails were probably all already cached, - but still that didn't stop nautilus from going crazy every time i try to - open the images folder again.. + i'm testing on an images directory that contains 1271 images and 79 subdirectories.. + opening the same directory on the "Manually" arrangement option seems to take 3 seconds or so.. any other option makes it take longer time to complete the process.. + + ubuntu 8.04 and nautilus 2.22.3 + Machine specs: Intel P4 3.0GHz, 1GB of RAM ** Tags added: nautilus ** Description changed: Binary package hint: nautilus - When opening a directory full of images which are sorted by anything other than "manually" (especially modification date which seems to be the worst case) nautilus takes a very long time in the loading process because it starts sorting the files before it fully loads the file list and the thumbnails. - during the loading process, icons (thumbnails) move around in every direction because new files keep popping up in the middle of the file list which makes nautilus act crazy for about a minute or so.. + When opening a directory full of images which are sorted by anything + other than "manually" (especially "By Modification Date" which seems to + be the worst case) nautilus takes a very long time in the loading + process because it starts sorting the files before it has fully loaded + the file list and the thumbnails. + + during the loading process, icons (thumbnails) move around in every + direction as new files keep popping up in the middle of the file list + which makes nautilus act crazy and it becomes unusable for about a + minute or so.. i'm testing on an images directory that contains 1271 images and 79 subdirectories.. - opening the same directory on the "Manually" arrangement option seems to take 3 seconds or so.. any other option makes it take longer time to complete the process.. + opening the same directory on the "Manually" arrangement option seems to take about 3 seconds.. any other option makes it take a significantly longer time to complete the process.. - ubuntu 8.04 and nautilus 2.22.3 - Machine specs: Intel P4 3.0GHz, 1GB of RAM + Intel P4 3.0GHz, 1GB of RAM, Ubuntu 8.04 and Nautilus 2.22.3 -- nautilus loads the contents of a directory and sorts them at the same time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247469 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
