            Bug ID: 15871
           Summary: Deleting many files causes Thunar to hang
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.8.9
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: greob at yahoo.com.sg
  Target Milestone: unspecified

When moving dozens of files to trash, and while having lots of files already
sitting in the .Trash directories, gvfsd-trash uses 100% of CPU, and Thunar
also uses a lot of CPU for minutes while being unresponsive.

I first thought this was a bug with gvfsd, which I have filed a report there:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/issues/416. 

It turns out it may just be the way Thunar generates a lot of requests to
gvfsd. Please see the linked issue for more details. 

Apparently Thunar would need the same fix as Nautilus to avoid generating
requests to gvfsd-trash within a short amount of time (

)
