Research direction

Start by reading the referenced issue #3020 and reproducing the reported behavior while browsing large directories, CDs, and networked file systems with high latency. Done means the requested option to deactivate file header detection is defined and works for these usage cases without requiring issue permissions to be changed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This issue:

Option to deactivate file header detection #3020

at https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/3020

Has been closed automatically, but the problem has not been addressed.
It will continue to be a problem while network latencies exist!

I cannot re-open it directly - as the close message suggests - because I "don't have permissions..."

Please re-open it, and consider it as a real usage issue!

It affects: browsing large directories, browsing CDs, and most importantly, browsing directories on networked file systems (with high latency).

Just try browsing a directory over a link with 0.5s latency!!
