Hi Lonnie and Rob, I am also facing the same issue. Interestingly, this issue is not reproducible with other file managers such as nemo. The lag for me is even more, of the order of a couple of minutes.
On a separate note, I have found that nautilus freezes randomly and crashes, it takes time to recover. I am using Ubuntu 13.10, and Gnome 3.10.x. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1250532 Title: Very Slow to Show Properties of a File (window dims out) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1250532/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
