the filechooser does less, do you use icon or list mode in nautilus? try disabling thumbnailing to see if that makes a difference, it still doesn't make any sense nautilus would be slower to access a device than other applications, the access rate is a kernel,driver thing, the applications don't

Both filechooser as Nautilus are in same mode: list with small thumbs ( Ctrl-2). I agree it does not make sense at all... Still... it is so easy to see, that there is no mistake... (starting from Terminal does not show any error) What could we do to nail this down? Tests? -- You received this

So to go back to some of the previous comments, is that still an issue only for your user? Could you add your .config/user-dirs.dirs to the bug report? Nautilus is slower than the fileselector because it tries to be a bit smarter in figuring the exact type of the files and collects a bit of extra

I have had the same problem with a new install and fully updated 12.04 as of yestarday. I was using a OCZ Vertex 4 128GB SSD (with new firmware 1.4.1.3). I just ended up imaging the whole disk over to a normal HDD and its much better now. Just as a few side notes, I was using it in a older HP

1. filesystem is ext4 2. view modes have all same problem. 3. extra test: using Truecrypt folder is also much slower on 12.04 with Nautilus than on 10.10 where I came from. A folder with let's say 20 200K pictures takes about 10 seconds to open, with full CPU. So behaviour on Truecrypt is same
