Public bug reported: I enter a folder with 3421 jpg files, select all of them and wait a little without doing nothing. Then I click on the parent folder to go up one level and this takes about a minute (note that it took a few seconds to display the contents of the folder with the thousand jpgs and that the parent folder has only a dozen sub folders and 2-3 files).
I reproduced this behavior 3 times. Selecting all of the files was essential for the behavior to occur. Ubuntu 8.10 fully patched CPU usage is at 100% and strace shows these while I wait: gettimeofday({1238157971, 340986}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1238157971, 341064}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1238157971, 341133}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1238157971, 341201}, NULL) = 0 [...] gettimeofday({1238157971, 368112}, NULL) = 0 stat64("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2245, ...}) = 0 gettimeofday({1238157971, 369230}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1238157971, 369319}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1238157971, 369387}, NULL) = 0 [...] gettimeofday({1238157971, 370343}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1238157971, 396810}, NULL) = 0 stat64("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2245, ...}) = 0 [...] [...many many many times again and again...] [...] stat64("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2245, ...}) = 0 gettimeofday({1238157972, 884601}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1238157972, 884680}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1238157972, 884750}, NULL) = 0 [...] gettimeofday({1238157972, 885644}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1238157972, 885714}, NULL) = 0 ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- hangs for several seconds when exiting a folder with many files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349576 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
