caja

[Robert Pearson]

I opened caja on a directory with 1.2 million files. Speek was glacial. I tried moving some files (200,000) to the desktop. The Progress window popped up claiming "preparing to move xxx files". After 5 hours of waiting for the number of files to change, I realized caja had crashed and used xkill.

I used a different program to move the files to different directories.

Now caja will not launch. I tried reinstalling caja. Still won't start. I did a purge and then an install. Still will not start.

In the Menu -> All there are 3 entries for caja. None work.

How can I get caja to work?

I am currently using nautilus and FileBrowser, but I prefer caja.

Do I have to completely reinstall Ubuntu MATE to get caja working?
