Title:
Deleting many files in opened folder takes very long time
Status in Nautilus:
Expired
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
steps to reproduce:
1. Be sure you have a "delete" option in your nautilus contextmenu
(see behaviour in nautilus options)
2. Use Nautilus to navigate to a directory with many files you can
delete, e.g. ~/.thumbnails/normal (For me, that folder included about
10000 files)
3. Select all files (e.g. with CRTL+A) and choose "delete" from the
contextmenu.
what happens:
Deleting these files takes ages (for me: 10000 files in prospected 11 hours) and CPU load is maximum.
Probably because nautilus sorts all files after each one delted.
When I closed that nautilus window, deleting was a question of
seconds.
what should happen:
Deleting many files should be fast and shouldn't stress the CPU.
