SeaDrive file listing in large folders on Ubuntu 24.04

SeaDrive

One or two months ago I updated to Ubuntu 24.04.01 LTS. From that time the files program or file explorer (nautilus) does have issues with file listings of very large folders. BUT when I try to list the pictures in e.g. XnViewMP there is no problem. It’s just gnome files with that file listing issue.

I already increase the option max_download_dir_size in seafile.conf from 2000 to 500000 but it doesn’t matter.

I also tested with nemo and it also works more or less fine.

Any suggestions?

Today I checked the seadrive.log and seadrive-gui.log. GUI-Log looks okay but seadrive.log shows me this errors:

This error occurs when I try to show the files in Nautilus. XnViewMP works still fine. Now I’m confused if this problem is by Nautilus or Seadrive/-file. I already checked my libs with fsck but it’s all good.

Hello @Johnnii360 , can you list the files in the corresponding directory through the command line instead of using a file manager? If that’s the case, the issue likely lies with the file manager itself. The error in the logs is related to cache files, which may indicate that Nautilus tries to preview too many files at once, causing an I/O error. However, this error should not affect the listing of virtual files.

File listing in terminal works also fine. So I will contact Cannonical or Gnome about the listing bug. Besides that there’s also a “click bug” I have to click more than twice to open a folder for example.
