On my systems, this bug also affected saving files from firefox, regardless of the destination! This is not about the time for downloading, I'm talking about ~1 kB files.
On one machine, it took 4-5 seconds saving such files to any location (not just the desktop), on the other it took over 2 seconds. After renaming the extension, saving from firefox happened instantly again on both machines. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1826604 Title: Extension causes saving files to desktop to be slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons/+bug/1826604/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
