Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Nautilus takes very long to scan home folder
Nautilus usually starts in the home-folder, at my computer i takes about 12
seconds until i can interact with the application.
The same holds for some File->Open dialogs which start in my homefolder (e.g.
gimp) where i have to wait very long until i can save/open my files.
There are currently 34 folders and 169 other items (428.7MB) excl. hidden files
and folders, which is not that much.There are images, videos, jars, html-files,
tgz-archives and all kinds of stuff i throw into my home folder. I assume that
i behave like a normal user ;).
It is very annoying to have to wait for nautilus again and again. It
ALWAYS takes so long, even if not a single file of my homefolder
changed.
I propose following solution:
Put nautilus-preview-generation in a separate thread and show a simple
filelist as fast as using the "ls" command on the console. Then replace
the entries of the list succesively as the preview data ia generated.
Nautilus must provide interaction facilities from the first second it is
started. Location-bar, filesystem-tree, bookmarks and the menu-bar in
general should be operationable. If one of those interaction elements
changes the detail view, the current preview thread must be killed and a
new one must be started.
