superkuhAnyone know how to get Caja to keep updating folder listings in real time as changes happen when there are more than 5000 files/folders in a directory? Caja seems to stop updating in real time once 5000 is passed.19:09
superkuhI have to always remember to hit the "Reload the current location" button to get an accurate directory listing.19:09
sixwheeledbeastI recall it being a known issue that caja doesn't like 5000+ files but I can't remember the details.19:25

superkuhIt's not just Ubuntu MATE either. My Debian 11 MATE does the same.19:31
superkuhI guess I just keep thunar open for large folders.19:31
sixwheeledbeastcopying that number of files is also an issue I believe.19:43
superkuhFile managers have one job. :\19:45
superkuhActual Nautilus on actual Gnome 2 handles folders with over 15,000 files just fine and keeps dynamically updating fast.19:49
superkuhThings have only gone backwards software-wise since 2010.19:49
superkuhIt's a struggle just to stay in place and keep the same basic functionality.19:49
