Created attachment 5176 Convert thunar_file_get_preview_type() into a dummy Hi, I found a bug similar to this: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7373 The g_file_query_filesystem_info() call in thunar-file.c at line 3441 seems to delay Thunar's startup for half a minute by quering information about GVFS "trash://". I just removed the hole function call and made the thunar_file_get_preview_type() method a dummy. Now, Thunar is awesome fast on my system and I couldn't find any abnormal behavior. What ever that function does, it can't be that important, but it causes much trouble on my system. See my patch here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:XroadracerX/thunar What do you think?
Removing code without knowing what it does is not an acceptable form of contribution. :-) Your problem is that thunar_file_get_preview_type hangs for you for a specific URL. Let's figure out why and find if your system or Thunar needs to be changed in a certain way for the problem to go away, instead. Could you start by attaching the output of the "df -h" command, and telling us what OS and Thunar version you're running?
The link to the patch does not work any more. No response for 5 years lets me think that either the problem disappeared, or XroadracerX is not further interested in fixing it. Feel free to reopen if I am wrong!
args ..ok, the patch is as well attached :F
