I have 463 JPEGs in a folder, averaging roughly one megabyte each. I
need to preview these in order to organize them. When I browse into the
folder with Nautilus (i.e. the Ubuntu default Gnome file browser, via
the Ubuntu desktop menus), it soon locks up with no busy pointer or
other indication that it is still thinking. At first it works for a bit
and then locks up as I scroll down. After I've killed nautilus a few
times, it simply refuses to display anything in that folder at all,
locking up right away.
At the moment it's been stuck for several minutes.
Setting a larger thumbnail size with the "+" icon (before it gets to the
"instantly locked up" stage) may be a contributing factor.
I can scroll through the contents of the same folder in The Gimp's
"Open" dialog without crashes or lockups.
Is Nautilus smart enough to calculate previews when those files come
into view or are likely to come into view or must it do them all at one
time? Is there a memory leak in that process perhaps?
