I see this behaviour when I: cd mkdir bar cd bar mkdir .foo When I then try to flipp-open the bar folder open from my home-dir in nautilus. It just starts that "Loding..." message that never ends. rmdir .foo ... turns the "Loading..." into "(Empty)". So I figure it has something to do with "hidden"-filters in this case. /jonas -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383927 Title: endless loading in nautilus / some files missing -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I tryed to reproduce it based on Jeff's description (just like Dan did) and discovered 2 things: 1.) unlike Dan: I did not had the "endless loading" bug anymore 2.) but same like Dan: there was no hidden folder created on disk (checked, too) Furthermore I did not even had this bug in normal workflow since a long time.

I was able to reproduce it based on Jeff's description above. Even more, when I was creating the folder starting with dot, after finishing typing (.something) I pressed on Enter. The folder disappeared (ok) BUT another one appeared in Nautilus called "untitled folder". It appears only at that instance and it disappears afterward, it is not created on disk (I checked), the correct .something is created on disk.

[Bug 383927] Re: endless loading in nautilus / some files missing
I don't this this is a dup of #454297, here's how I can repeatedly reproduce it: open a nautilus window in "list view", create a folder (don't even bother changing it's name), enter the directory and create a other folder, but name it starting with a dot ("." so hidden folder). Go back up to the parent of "untitled folder" you created and hit the little triangle to view it's content, it says "loading..." endlessly. For the record, i have the left pane displaying "Places". And this scenario is just so you can create it with dummy folders, but I observed this behaviour because of a svn checkout I have on my HD... one of our dirs is empty, but on my HD it contains a dir called ".svn" as do all the checked out dirs, but since this one doesn't have any elements other than this ".svn" it made the "Loading..." problem. Enjoy! (and please fix ;) ) ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 454297 drag and drop images or video into subfolder will prevent folder from loading ** Description changed: + !!! THERE MAY BE A SIMPLER WAY TO REPRODUCE... SEE Jeff Dag below... !!! Binary package hint: nautilus bug discription: it often happens after moving some files or folders into another (target-)folder. when the fileoperation is complete sometimes the target-folder does not refresh, so I hit CTRL+R for a refresh. but then nautilus does not get ready with loading this target-folder and does not display every file in the folder. [the loading animation spins around and around and around ...] Even if I close nautilus and open the folder again it's the same: endless loading an some files are missing. no filesystem bug: other filebrowsers work well (i've tested e.g. with konqueror and it shows everything that's in the folder and everything is quite normal) also in xterm "ls" shows all files and they are normally accessable my silly solution: I use e.g. konqueror: I create an empty folder in the for-nautilus-problematic-folder and move the problematic-files (that are not displayed in nautilus) into it. AND then in nautilus everything(!) works fine: no endless loading end the files (that were missing before) are displayed in the "new folder". info: -I think it does not matter what filetype the missing files are. (last time it was a single .pdf file, but it's different every other time) -the folder is on a ntfs partition mounted in my home folder (by UUID through /etc/fstab) I believe it's a new bug since 9.04 but I don't know.

Same problem here, never happened prior to Karmic but now it's very common in Nautilus - any time I move a file that is represented by a thumbnail from one folder to another, Nautilus can't show the entire contents of the destination folder - sometimes Nautilus won't show anything, other times it shows everything but the file just moved. Any file that uses a thumbnail seems to be able to set this off - not just videos, but PDFs, and document files if an OpenOffice thumbnailer extension is installed.

[Bug 383927] Re: endless loading in nautilus / some files missing
Notice that the "subfolder trick" seems to solve the bug permanently (for all nautilus windows, until the window in which the trick was done (!) gets closed) while the "two window trick" solves only the bug temporarily (for example, if you close one and then in the other navigate to another folder and back, the issue is there again). For the folder displayed blank case, this may also happen for non-first displays, but I cannot reproduce it systematically.

[Bug 383927] Re: endless loading in nautilus / some files missing
I am currently experiencing the exact same bug. What is really weird is that the problematic folder is on a removable drive, which I have unplugged several times since it first happened, but the issue is still there: continuous reloading with some files missing. This all happened after moving files from a FAT32 partition to that folder (on an ext3 partition) with nautilus (by drag&drop from one tab to another), then letting my laptop go into sleep mode. Notice that no thumbnails are displayed. Wow, I entered in a subfolder then went back and the problem was gone! I cannot reproduce the bug any more using the same window, but if I close it and then open a new window the problem is still there. Also, opening two windows (or tabs) on that folder instantaneously solves the issue in both of them (but during a fraction of a second I can see the bug in the newly opened window). Sometimes when first displaying the problematic folder it just remains blank (no file/folder are displayed).

I found if I move the folder on the command line: $ mv brokenfolder newfoldername Then goto it in nautilus it will then display. So then I moved the folder back to its original name, and it was still broken. Its seems like some sort of cache issue. Disabling thumbnail preview (In Preferences -> Preview -> Show Thumbnails : Never) will also result in the folder loading. So its caused by thumbnail loading. Alternatively if I delete the ~/.thumbnails directory it loads up but without a thumbnail.
