File is working very slowly #2415
Comments
Please give more detail about the folders you are opening e.g. how many files they contain, what type and whether they are local or remote. How long does it take to open and does it depend on the size of the folder? I can see no change in speed with the latest release (v6.5.3) with folders containing up to 2000 files. |
It lasts on average between 5 seconds to open any folder, even empty folders takes 5 seconds to open, so it doesn't seem to depend on the size of the folders I'm also using dolphin installed in flatpak and all folders are opening normally (I don't know if that's helpful) |
That's strange especially if it happens even for empty folders. It may give a clue if you have |
The only recent change to Files is #2412 and that has not been released yet. If you are running the stable release of elementary then Files has not changed at all since December. So the cause is probably some upstream change in the system. |
What I've noticed using htop is that right before the program opens the CPU usage goes up to 100% Hardware information |
That's interesting, and would explain the delay. I assume that the 100% CPU usage is associated with the "Recent" is a virtual folder created by the system rather than a real one on disk so should be faster to read. |
