I can confirm same experience as Motin. Moving large folder trees causes Nautilus to consume large amounts of RAM that it doesn't release afterwards. I don't have preview / thumbs enabled and my zoom is 50%, if that is relevant (but I doubt it). This Nautilus bug has cropped up in all sorts of places and guises.
Intrepid 8.1 Nautilus 2.24.1 ( 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu2 ) "Motin wrote on 2009-06-06: I just moved around a lot of files between external hard drives, around 400 GB all in all. It took all night, and now I have unmounted all drives and thought I would be able to work as usual, but the system is slow and unresponsive. Nautilus takes up a whopping 1.6 gb resident, and 2.9gb all in all (so 1.3 gb in swap)." -- Nautilus using more and more memory (depending on the system up-time) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
