That means you need a newer version of nautilus. It should only call the thumbnailers if the file hasn't changed for a couple of seconds (ie. the mtime). If it doesn't do that, it's a nautilus bug. It should only call the thumbnailer when the download is finished. -- Bastien Nocera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
