Hi, My desktop is the "Workstation Edition" and I use the files menu with copy and paste. In the case of interest (F26) the first 1.5 GB are copied very quickly (about 100MB/sec) then the copying process slows down to about 11MB/sec. After signalling completion I have to wait about 4 minutes untill I am allowed to eject. If this is normal, then OK, if not, possibly I should file a bug. Kind regards

Ok, then it used to be standard behaviour and I haven't paid attention to it since then. :-) I will have to try it out, but I thought I saw this with nautilus recently._______________________________________________test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.orgTo unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
