[Bug 38294] Hangs when opening large folders

[Trouilliez vincent]

Public bug reported:

Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
I opened the folder ~/.thumbnails, which contained about 10,000 files.
It took 2 or 3 minutes to open, and during that very long time, Nautilus was completely unresponsive, plain hung, and I was unable to cancel the action, the keyboard was unresponsive.
Actually it impacted not just Nautilus, but the whole Desktop. The whole machine was hung.
