#6941: Tracker slow and hesitant when copying large numbers of files --------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: dsuden | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: | Version: R1/Development Applications/Tracker | Keywords: tracker copying files slow Resolution: | Has a Patch: 0 Blocked By: | Blocking: Platform: x86 | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by dsuden): I am copying from one hard drive to another. I have tried the following approaches you mentioned: - Starting the copy and then closing the destination window - Closing all windows and doing the copy from a Terminal In both cases, the same thing happens. The copying starts and flies along for a short while, then hesitates for a long time, during which Tracker becomes unresponsive and won't allow me to do things like open windows, create links, etc. FYI, the item I'm copying is my "Station" folder, which contains subfolders, of which have audio files in them. In some cases, the audio files (mostly songs) are buried several layers deep...so the directory structure includes items like: /boot/Station/Music/AlmaNova/After Hours/07 Massimo Dancing.mp3 -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6941#comment:2> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
