[Bug 1571540] Re: Moving files nautilus extremely slow
Not sure what happened or whoever did the magic, but the problem is gone on Ubuntu 16.04, somewhere between the end of August and the first two weeks of September. Moving images are as fast as it used to be (and should be). I tested moving 1,000+ JPG files several times and it happened instantly. It used to show "Preparing to move files ..." for a few minutes, even with just 100 image files. Anyway, would be great if a dev can drop an explanation. Otherwise, people please test/verify and we can close this ticket then. -- 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/1571540 Title: Moving files nautilus extremely slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1571540/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 36189] Re: Applets do not scale well with changing resolution
This is really annoying, especially my little one plays Chilsplay and Gcompris regularly (switching back and forth between 1024x768 and 1440x900). Some issues to address: - if the resolution goes from high to low, what if all the items won't fit on the lower resolution. - if the resolution goes from low to high, in what fashion should the distance/position of items be scaled (I think this is similar to designing web page, with the width of the body or container always expand to 100%) Perhaps, since the number of resolutions provided by video devices are relatively small (usually less than 50), before changing the screen resolution, record the absolute position of all items, then if the resolution is switched back, just pull out the recorded positions. Combine this option with a set of rules, such as, dropping off non- default items (and/or rightmost items) if there is not enough spaces when lowering resolution; for increasing resolution, perhaps keep absolute position for locked items, and scale percentage of non-locked items. To make thing more complicated (but also more flexible), we can introduce individual positioning setting for each item (just like CSS, position:relative or absolute, left/right: % or px). Leaving the panels on LCD screen seems to require setting the screens in non-mirror mode, and choose one of the screens to be primary (just like OSX). I think this is pretty intuitive, just don't know about legal issue if someone claims the pattern. Also, I'm not sure how Compiz's cube is related to this. -- Applets do not scale well with changing resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36189 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
