Ubuntu :: File Manager Crashes When 20000+ Files In Single Folder?
Dec 19, 2010
why the file manager, nautilus is it called? can't cope with folders with extremely large numbers of files in it, is there a fix? if not could be a future project for future distributions, i have some folders with 20, 000+ files in it, for rendering fractal animations, i am trying to free up some room, the trash can can't empty it from trash because there are so many files, and when i try to open the folder, it crashes and restarts completely

During the past eight years I've used a number of computers with different operating systems and browsers. On each one I made a habit of using the bookmark utility of each browser and saving the bookmarks file. I never ensured the continuity of the bookmark file - with each new computer I started a new bookmark file. Even when I was reinstalling the operating system I didn't import the old bookmark file in the newly installed browser: I've always started a new bookmark file. As a result I have tens of bookmark files for Firefox (json format - some kind of xml?) and IE (html file format?) each one containing hundreds or thousands of saved links. I have also some files containing links in text format (created usually when I was using someone else computer).
I would like to be able to manage this bookmarks files by using some sort of "bookmark manager" software. The "bookmark manager" should be able to merge the bookmark files into a single collection/file. It should be able to identify and remove the duplicate entries (I have timely versions of the same bookmark file) and also it should be able to group the entries/links on categories (for example the bookmarked articles on codeproject.com should be grouped under the codeproject category). Not to mention that it should provide a search facility to quickly locate the interesting bookmarks. I couldn't find such software in ubuntu software center. Do you know something that even comes close to what I need?

I'm using Xubuntu Natty, and recently started using Compiz, mostly just for minimize animations and window previews. The problem is, whenever I have compiz on and try to do anything in the file manager other than opening folders or files, such as cutting and pasting a file to a different folder, the whole system crashes. I have PCmanFM as well as Thunar, and both do this. How can I fix compiz to not do this? I am tired of having to turn off my computer, and risking losing data. For now I have compiz turned off, but is there a way to fix this and still use it?

I have recently switched to using LXDE on my PC and I am on the whole pretty pleased with it. However,PCMan is giving me a really odd problem. Some of the files/folders are being displayed in the wrong order where they contain numbers. They are being ordered by their first digit not the whole number.

I'm trying to zip or rar >100000 files into a single file so that I can upload it to my server much faster than ftp downloaded it. Total they're all only 4gb, but because of the number of files Nautilus freezes just opening the folder they're in. They're all .jpgs and all in the same folder and I've tried a few commands but I keep getting error messages.
Anyone have a command that will archive all the files from a folder into a single zip (or rar, tar etc)? I can't just archive the folder because then I would have to move all the files out of that folder and just opening the folder to move them would crash it, and I don't have ssh into that server.

I am using Xfce as the desktop enviroment and Mozilla Firefox as the webrowser. Within the webrowser window, I do File>Save Page As. I save it, and the result is almost always foo.html and directory foo_files. But I think under KDE I could choose the format, one of them being something like "Single page" (only one file; the colecction of .png, etc is embedded into that file). And this is the format I want Xfce (or Firefox) to use when downloading to hdd.

On a KDE4 environment after downloading some music from rapidshare with JDownloader the archives self-extracted with the symbol in some of the file names. Those files couldn't be renamed or deleted, the file manager said that the files didn't exist - very weird. The files should have had some swedish characters in their file names. Now I'm stuck with those files on my machine. Anyone knows how to get rid of them?

1. Is it possible to instead of using the Desktop Folder plasmoid, have a usual Desktop act as a file manager?
2. What is Akondi? There are tons of processes which have Akonadi in their name, and it seems to be using up lots of memory.Can I disable these somehow, or is it safe to do so?
3. Any general tips on how to reduce the amount ram that is used on startup? I am using somewhere around 750MB on startup, which is about double the amount Gnome uses. After a few hours of use, Xorg uses close to 1GB of memory.
4. Whenever I get a notification, they don't delete themselves, so when I click on the (i), I see tons of notifications. Is there a way to get them to delete themselves after they have been shown?

With Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.0.4 I have seen that the nautilus filemanager is extremely slow with folders that contains many files or/and folders.I made sure that "Assistive Technologies" is diable. On the filemanager preference I set all preview to "Never", tried all possible views, but the filemanager remains extremely slow. It seems like it becomes even slower when the subfolders in the folder you are viewing new files are being created by for example a program. Possibly nautilus filemanager is updating continuously ?
I use to be using debian etch nautilus file manager. With the same directories, nautilus in debain etch was working much faster. But contrary to the one in Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.0.4 is is far less stable. It seems like the newer version is more stable but however extremely much slower. I was wondering if I am missing something. Or whether this is a bug. If it is a bug, then I am wondering when this is going to be solved in nautlius filemanager.

I'm running F 13 and today's updates included updates to Xorg, so I logged out and back in to let them take effect. Ever since then, Firefox has been repeatedly crashing, especially on certain sites. I managed to get the crash reporting tool to report it to Bugzilla, but when I try to go back to add the bug report to this post, Firefox crashes, every single time. Has anybody else found this? If somebody can get to bugzilla.redhat.com and find the report (The email address I use there is joe@zeff.us if it helps.) I'd appreciate having it added as a response to this, so that others can find it and,

I'm trying to setup a Samba share for our work. I have it almost complete, however I can't successfully share editable files between users. The issue I'm having is that say User1 create a file test.txt, because of the 755 permissions, then User2, who has "writable" rights as per the smb.conf file, cannot edit that test.txt file.
Whevener I create a file with a user, its locked by that user. Is there a way I can set it that every folder/file a user creates is 777 ? I firgured that there's still security because of the "Valid users = " field in the smb.conf file.

I recently set up a computer running Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop for use as a server, and successfully have it hosting game servers.I'm relatively new to Ubuntu, so I'm not sure how to go about this, but ideally I would like a user to be able to access a single folder on the server over the internet, and be able to upload and download files from it.It would be nice to set up multiple folders like this, so different people would have access to their own personal folder, but not anyone else's.

I have roughly 5Tb of movies spread out on 6 drives in my system. I'd like to create a folder that will display the contents of certain folders without actually moving the data. For example, I have 3 drives with /HDMovies and 3 with /SDMovies. How do I create two new folders /HDMovies and /SDMovies and have the data from the drives be collected?
