Hi there!

I've been using files a lot and as much as I love the project, it's gotten pretty annoying with how "broken" it feels to use.

Right clicking on stuff just takes a while on high end hardware (Ryzen 9 5950x with 64gb ram and gen 4 nvme), even making the entire app just completely freeze and (most of the time) crash.
There's an annoying bug where everything that's pinned will just disappear on the side bar.
Right clicking on something when your view is set to column will make all the columns shift to the left then back while the context menu is loading
If you double click on a column it (seemingly) just disappears?

Please ask me for anything so that I can help out the best I can ^^

#

The pinned bug idk how to replicate unfortunately :(
I'll send an example if it comes up

#

Columns moving and crashing (looks like it just can't handle it when there are a lot of files?) ^^

Please follow the steps in https://github.com/files-community/Files/issues/15410 to not have the pinned disappraring issue.
Right clicking issue with the column layout is being tracked here https://github.com/files-community/Files/issues/16193 and scrolling issue here https://github.com/files-community/Files/issues/15776 . You can check there or click subscribe in the right sidebar for updates.

Both are caused by being complex implementation and we've had difficulty to fix them
