Synopsis: Nautilus folder view is refreshing too often
Bugzilla-Product: nautilus
Bugzilla-Component: Accessibility
Bugzilla-Version: 2.10.x
Description:
Description of Problem:
The nautilus view for a folder is refreshing too often.
If I have a nautilus view opened for a folder whose content is changing
very fast (e.g. compilation, or mass-downloading), the view is updated
too often, so that tracking a file icon is impossible.
It would be better to have the view refresh triggered by a click inside
the window or on an icon, or after a few seconds.

Comment 1 Christian Kirbach 2005-04-16 10:16:58 UTC 
I disagree. Most people will want to see the 'current' contents of a folder.
I think tracking one specific file in a rapidly changing folder is not very 
common.
Comment 2 Christian Kirbach 2005-04-16 10:18:08 UTC 
I suppose if you stop your file monitor (famd or comparable) you will get no 
more auto-updates, but I am not sure.
Comment 3 Boris de Laage 2005-04-16 11:08:19 UTC 
auto-update is fine. It's just updating too often.
Comment 4 Christian Kirbach 2005-04-16 15:04:36 UTC 
Hmm nautilus relies on a file alteration monitor.
I assume nautilus uses its status updates.

anyway I can hardly imagine view updates should be reduced.
Comment 5 Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2005-05-21 19:19:52 UTC 
I think refresh often is not the problem.
The main probkem is that nautilus uses a lot of ressources to refresh the
information regarding the folder refreshed. Is this bug really valid ?

I'm changing the bugzilla component to "file and folders operation" as this is
not  only a Desktop problem.
