It'd be helpful to know exactly why Nautilus is opening the file in the first place. I know that's not the easiest of information to get, but you can do it with gdb if you set a watch in the right place.
Normally we'd just pass it off to libgnome-desktop and it'd open (gnome,totem)-video-thumbnailer and the video would be thumbnailed out of process. My only guess, and it really is just a wild guess, is that for whatever reason the mime sniffing is going haywire and Nautilus is trying to thumbnail it as a text file or an image file for some bizarre reason (we read the file, render its contents to a pixbuf and show that). Can you reproduce it when you turn off thumbnails (File mgmt.->previews) for text or images? -- nautilus freezes while browsing video folder, reproducible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405908 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
