Description abraham 2008-12-27 17:59:14 UTC
Please describe the problem:
last day i had a folder with 67 pictures in it and it last like 10 second loading pictures

Steps to reproduce:
1. move 50 or more pictures in a folder with normal resolution (1280*960) aprox 
2. then open the folder
3. it is too slow


Actual results:
what I've explained before

Expected results:
nautilus should be faster than windows, mac, kde, xfce explorer (file manager)

Does this happen every time?
yeah of course

Other information:
no

and maybe not that big, just like 500×1200 or 668×930, please improve nautilus

A possible scaled thumbnail could be stored and quickly loaded again next time opening the folder?

Comment 4 André Klapper 2021-06-18 15:56:12 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
