Nautilus seems to sniff the files to discover their types, and a plug-in tries to generate a thumbnail image for the file. Both these features are painfully slow with moderately largish directories. You can turn off the inclusion of the filetype in the list details, but not the image generation. Perhaps the plug-in could be manually replaced with something which worked faster, or instantly "did nothing." I've used the emelFM2 file manager as an alternative, it doesn't show thumbnails of files. And it does let you do some wildcarding to show/hide files in the lister gadget. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
