Re: [orca-list] When opening a folder with lot of files in it with Orca, it is very slow.

hi

Yeah, if orca is getting flooded with stuff, the fix is to stop the 
flood. Orca can't magically tell which events are legitimate and those 
which are not. Even if you add logic for this, which there is some, 
logic doesn't always work and sometimes ends up ignoring stuff that 
shouldn't be, causing bugs in other apps. Alex could probably report 
this upstream to the mate devs and maybe you, or me, I can do it if you 
don't have the time, can report it downstream to nautilus, where it'll 
make it's way into nemo, the mint fork.

Thanks
