Other broken folders
Authored by: nickp on Tue, Oct 9 2007 at 5:38PM PDT

I have been seeing a (potentially) related problem:

Certain folders have become wedged such that they hang the finder (requiring relaunching) whenever I try to view them sorted by date or kind.

Other folders require 30 or more seconds to open, even though they have only a few hundred files in them. I tried fixing permissions ...

I have no idea what's going on. Any suggestions?
