file: get filesystem type asynchronously (8.44 KB, patch)

Description Nikki Kononov 2015-10-09 09:26:12 UTC 
While Nautilus connects to GDrive and syncs all the folders and files, the main UI freezes and cannot be interacted with until all files and folders are synced and displayed.

Saw it myself, I think is the check for the filesystem type.
->3.18
Comment 2 Ondrej Holy 2015-10-13 13:27:48 UTC 
Then the check for filesystem type have to be done asynchronously if it is not. Especially google backend is really slow if there is a lot of files on the drive...

file: get filesystem type asynchronously

We were peeking the filesystem type synchronously since nautilus
was checking for some file infos that are only required once
synchronously. However the call for the filesystem is usually slow
which makes nautilus main thread hang.

To avoid I/O in the main thread, make the filesystem type request
asynchronously and part of all the others attributes for the file.
