[19:09] <superkuh> Anyone 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] <superkuh> I have to always remember to hit the "Reload the current location" button to get an accurate directory listing.
[19:25] <sixwheeledbeast> I recall it being a known issue that caja doesn't like 5000+ files but I can't remember the details.

[19:31] <superkuh> It's not just Ubuntu MATE either. My Debian 11 MATE does the same.
[19:31] <superkuh> I guess I just keep thunar open for large folders.
[19:43] <sixwheeledbeast> copying that number of files is also an issue I believe.
[19:45] <superkuh> File managers have one job. :\
[19:49] <superkuh> Actual Nautilus on actual Gnome 2 handles folders with over 15,000 files just fine and keeps dynamically updating fast.
[19:49] <superkuh> Things have only gone backwards software-wise since 2010.
[19:49] <superkuh> It's a struggle just to stay in place and keep the same basic functionality.
