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!!

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.
