As the #Nautilus team keeps making progress in refactoring and optimizing #GNOMEFiles, we can see #GNOME's file manager steadily becoming faster.
Among the few performance issues remaining, I believe the probable "Final Boss" of search performance is this issue, which would require some refactoring across the views. Anyone up for a challenge? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/3452
Update regarding my font problem in Nautilus: It occurs only if the Nautilus window is on my 4k screen. If it's on the 1080p screen, font rendering is fine.
Nautilus bug? 😩
It happens no matter if I use Sway or Gnome Shell (both Wayland).
does anyone have a good Linux desktop image/video previewer like macOS' "quick looK" that isn't gnome-sushi? That's the only thing I've been able to find but I really want to avoid Nautilus.
Wait you can use a #Bitlocker encrypted drive on #Linux? What is this magic? I was already prepared for so many hoops and pain, but no. Just plug-and-play on #GNOME#Nautilus.
I've been doing #sysprof profiling & stopwatch measurements of #GNOMEFiles loading local folders with thousands of items without a warm disk cache. #XFCE's #Thunar file manager still feels 4 to 30x faster than #Nautilus in this scenario.
It seems the functions used for querying thumbnails attributes are currently really expensive. Hopefully they can be optimized.
I am deeply grateful for @antoniof daring to go through the 9 rounds of Refactoring Hell to improve views' performance & reliability in #GNOME's file manager, in what will become #Nautilus 46.
This is not a joke, it took over 9 merge requests to accomplish this, with the result (among other things) that switching between listview and gridview will now be instantaneous: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/3042
Here is a short demo video I recorded with the git version
I am thrilled to tell you that @Vivaldi is now becoming available in cars from Ford and Lincoln!
The first one will be the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus.
We continue to lead the way in in-car browsing. Yes, there will be others, but we continue to lead and hopefully set the standard of what you expect from a browser in your car!
Performance issue discovered by Khalid tonight: shadows behind icons cut my #Nautilus' framerate by ~50%
Repeatedly hovering icons reduces framerate to 15-35 fps according to the #GTK Inspector tool; disabling yields 60 fps+. I bet it would be even more noticeable on HiDPI and high-framerate displays. I'm curious, can some #GNOME folks test git main on a ≥120Hz display?
Comment this out from src/resources/style.css :
Haven't looked at the code in #GnomeOnlineAccounts in ages but it shouldn't be terribly hard to a new provider, and then adding support in #Nautilus, #Photos, and maybe a #GnomeShell extension or it's own app.
Would be pretty neat... guess I'll do some search-fu to see if anyone has started working on this.
