Comment 43 for bug 1133477

Thanks again for taking the time.

It's difficult to say exactly the number at which it occurs because there's a point at which the normal time to copy a small number of files crosses the point where it is no longer normal to copy lots of small files. I can say that I've never _noticed_ it with less than 50 files, but then again - even if it happened with less than 50 files the delay may have been small enough where I didn't realize the issue happened. I've definitely noticed it with as few as 50 files. I did some testing with 20 and 40 files this morning but didn't notice any issue.

This definitely has not occurred in Ubuntu 14.04 using Nautilus 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu8 and previous versions (all the way back to launch). It definitely never happened with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS or 7.04 LTS and any version of Nautilus included in their stable releases.

I'm almost certain it never happened with Linux Mint 17 and Linux Mint 17 MATE, but I can't say that for certain as I abandoned those distros pretty quickly after finding it did not meet my needs.

I don't recall which version of Caja originally shipped with Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS, but I installed MATE 16.04 LTS on launch day and keep my packages updated at least weekly, and this issue has been present in all versions.
