[Bug 42690] Re: Nautilus list view calls non-empty folders "empty" while they load

[Marcus Sundman]

Low importance?!? I've lost so much stuff because of this bug! I switch open a folder and it says "(empty)" so I Shift-Delete it (instead of normal Delete because the bad implementation of the trash-thingy make it so utterly useless) and I just catch a glimpse of my files appearing in the list immediately before they disappear to the great bit-bucket in the sky. This bug causes data loss so it's damn close to "critical"!
And don't say that people should wait and see if a folder will show files, because there is nothing indicating that it's still loading (which is a problem even efter it starts showing files, one doesn't know when it has finished scanning the folder).
And yeah, I should have backups. Still, because of this bug I just LOST the backup of one of my DVDs, and I needed it (the DVD was a very expensive instructional video)! I'm so mad right now that I could kill the moron who made nautilus say the folder is "empty" when it really contained very important files.
