This issue may be closable, and I apologize for complaining about the updates.
Today after logging out and back in, I tried various other file managers like Gnome Commander and others like it, Xfe, etc. These are fine for what they do and I may use them for other jobs, but I still missed the file merge with thumbnails in the latest releases of nautilus. After having done some of the moves of dirs I wanted to do, I went back to nautilus to compare images and found that the problem I reported above had repaired itself. The functionality I had a couple of days ago had returned with none of the delays I experienced within the past couple of days. This leads me to conclude that there must have been a hung subprocess that was tying up nautilus and that logging out fully caused it to die. I am wondering if there is enough information in the debugging output from nautilus to tell you that, and how I might troubleshoot this if it happens again. I know about top, but I am not expert on its more advanced features. Could I see the entire process tree for nautilus and find the hung subprocess and kill it? I guess in retrospect the easiest thing for me to do is to logout or even reboot. Corrupting NTFS is one worry though, since I suspect that full repair of that FS is not yet supported in U. I don't think that the problem was caused by the My Book hanging processes since, as noted above, I got decent response in the shell and later with the other file managers, although I used them after logging back in. Again I am sorry if I offended anyone with my worry about the value of the updates, there may have been a problem in nautilus but it is fixed, so unless there is some value in testing my hypothesis against the errors reported, this bug can be closed. If there is more that I need to do, please tell me. -- 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/709935 Title: File MGR is very slow on any type fs -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
