           Summary: Nautilus problems with 1000+ files in a folder
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: nautilus
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: jdorsman2004 at hotmail.com

With more than 1000 files in a folder Nautilus becomes less accurate.

(1) sorting 
I have photos with filenames which begin with the year, like: 2005-birthday.jpg,
etc. These file are sorted correctly when sorted on filename. But in an other
folder there are files beginning with 0000-...jpg, (because I didn't know the
year). The first 20 or so are placed first, but the next 10 files beginning with
0000-... are placed at the end (after 2005-...). This is very consequently.

(2) case sensitive order.
There seems to be no way to sort the filename case-insensitive, which is a
problem with so many files.

(3) slow.
Nautilus becomes very slow, even when there are only text files in a list view.
Swithing off the preview helps a lot, but this can't be set for folders with
many files only. 

kind regards,
jdo
