Not sure what happened or whoever did the magic, but the problem is gone on Ubuntu 16.04, somewhere between the end of August and the first two weeks of September. Moving images are as fast as it used to be (and should be). I tested moving 1,000+ JPG files several times and it happened instantly. It used to show "Preparing to move files ..." for a few minutes, even with just 100 image files.
Anyway, would be great if a dev can drop an explanation. Otherwise, people please test/verify and we can close this ticket then. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1571540 Title: Moving files nautilus extremely slow Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I move a lot of files from (ex. two hundred images) from one folder to another on the same harddrive, I get a message "Preparing to move x files"and it takes a long time to move them. The filesystem is btrfs (raid 1). The folder is linked to another folder because my main system hdd is a ssd drive. (Ex. /home/data/Pictures ~/username/Pictures/ ) All the userdata subfolders are stored on btrfs hdd (ex. /home/username/Downloads etc..) Moving files via commandline is instant.
