Description of problem:
nautilus needs extremely long to browse a folder with large content.
(in my case a cifs-share with about 300-500 items)
it does not make a difference between whether it is a faster or slow
computer. it takes about 2-4 mitutes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nautilus-2.16.2-7.fc7

How reproducible:
after upgrading to rawhide this happens

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install fc6
2.upgrade to rawhide

Actual results:

I can confirm this but the problem does not seem to be the browsing of the
folder itself. When I click on a folder in the tree the contents in the right
pane are displayed fast but when I click on the triangle next to the folder name
in the tree then the long delay occurs depending on the size of the directory.
Looks like this is a problem with the tree-view.


Comment 2 Steve 2006-12-31 08:26:10 UTC
i have this problem with or without tree-view. it has to do with large content
in folders......

Comment 3 Alexander Larsson 2007-02-12 09:11:32 UTC
Isn't the issue just that loading the files and sniffing their type over the
network via cifs is slow?

Comment 4 Steve 2007-02-12 09:27:34 UTC
i don't think so, because this happens only on rawhide machines
(nautilus-2.17.90-4.fc7). there is no problem on other machines with fc5 and fc6.

Comment 5 Alexander Larsson 2007-02-13 09:28:15 UTC
Weird. I don't know of any smb changes in gnome-vfs or nautilus in 2.17.x vs
2.16.x. Maybe some system issue is affecting it.

Comment 6 Steve 2007-02-13 09:54:48 UTC
i installed a clean fc6. since the upgrade to rawhide i have this issue. 
for example: when i browse a folder with large amount of small pictures,
nautilus takes a very long time. when i browse this folder with gThumb, i see
the pictures in a few seconds.

this is not a samba issue, it affects too on local maschines.

i made a folder with about 300 folders inside. after that by trying opening this
folder, nautilus takes a very long time to see the 300 empty folders.

Comment 7 Steve 2007-02-23 20:50:35 UTC
newest realizations: the problem exists only if nautilus is in "list view"!

Comment 8 Steve 2007-03-15 09:21:03 UTC
seems to be fixed in the actual version.
