Thunar populates slow
Sorry for the long story but I want to give you as much information to see if this can be corrected or improved. I am curious if it's possible to get Thunar to populate files quicker. In the past when I first opened Thunar the files populated fairly quickly. I was was using MX Linux running a RAID 10 as two partitions because it couldn't format the 4 GB RAID 10 in one partition. The RAID 10 I have consists of four 2 GB 7200 HDD. Since then I tried different distros and have settled into Linux mint 19.2 Xfce (64-bit) which was able to format the 4 GB RAID 10 as one partition. When I open Thunar for the first time after a boot or reboot, Thunar opens quickly but it takes the files to populate from about 2 minutes to about 5 minutes on anything that has 600+ files. When I open Thunar after that it populates quickly. I have added these files from a back up on an external 4 TB HDD but I noticed file permission being mixed being that they were copied from a previous distro that the application that I installed from SourceForge that turned out to be Malware which is called Stacer changed file permissions without prior knowledge. I don't have Stacer on this distro and was able to correct all the file permissions except for one. Where it says Owner: it says "Mixed file owners", instead of root (root). Is there a way to speed up Thunar so it will populate files quicker? How do I change file permissions from "Mixed file owners" to "root (root)? If you require more information, please let me know and also what commands since I am command line illiterate. This is my system from a saved command.
Code:
$ inxi -F |

eg; make sure you're in the drives correct directory, then; Code:
sudo chown -R root:root * Quote:
It could also be the filesystem itself, choking on the large number of files, what filesystem is it using? This will tell you; Code:
lsblk -f |

I found the problem is Linux mint. I replaced it with SparkyLinux which corrected the problem.
