I'm trying to open some folders off of my home/document tree and have discovered that certain folders will hang upon opening (they just have standard documents in there... PDfs, .XLS etc...) This problem is Nemo specific, as I'm able to open the same folder with no issues in Thunar or Double Commander.
What I see on my screen is the equivalent of the hourglass (I don't know what you call it in Mint) just churning away. I have to killall to get back running...
How can I troubleshoot this?

I also am suffering from the same behavior. If I'm hasty to open a document right after I open a folder, the problem is reproducible. The system will hang. Sometimes a ctrl-alt-backspace will restart cinnamon successfully, but others I have to ctrl-alt-f1 and rebooting.

I "appears" to have resolved itself somewhat when I installed Kernel 3.16.30. Still has a delay when opening a file, but instead of 5-30 seconds it is more like ~4.
