Every single time I cut, copy, paste or even rename a folder, tumblerd goes crazy, uses tons of CPU and my HDD starts making a really loud and irritating grinding noise that just doesn't stop.

Even if I move a folder with 1 single file inside it.... tumblerd goes absolutely nuts for ages.

I have to constantly open a terminal and killall tumblerd every time I do anything, but I'm really sick and tired of it now. It's come to the point where I dread moving or renaming anything on my system because of the constant tumblerd grinding.

The problem is it cant even be removed without removing vital components along with it.

Searching google I can see lots of posts, every year, multiple times a year, for the past 8 years... and this is still and absolute nightmare of a problem.

Is there any way to stop this god-awful thing?

I'm on Xubuntu 20.04
