Re: Nautilus search bar slow
Allegedly, on or about 7 August 2018, D. Hugh Redelmeier sent:
I (on Fedora 28) use Nautilus once in a while. There is a handy
feature that if you start typing a filename, it will do some kind of
search for that filename. Very, very slowly.
I'm using an older release, with the Mate desktop. If I start typing a
filename, its cursor jumps to the files who's names start with those
characters, straight away. And if there's more than one match, I can
cursor up and down between them.
What I have wanted and expected is a filter of the filenames in the
directory being shown. That should be fast. I don't know what I'm
getting, but in the end it seems to be such a filter.
I've not seen any filter feature in (older versions of) Nautilus, but
have in other file manager programs.
In the past, I've used emelFM2 as a much more featured file manager, I
only consider Nautilus to be in the class of a file browser.
