[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1444790] Re: crash if thumbnailer fails to produce output
After removing custom thumbnailers, copying a jp2 file using ctrl-C ctrl-V causes nautilus to crash about one time. gnome-thumbnailer tries to create a thumbnail, but it can take several seconds, and if nautilus is reopened and navigated to that folder again, it will crash again. However, after this has been completed, nautilus won't crash. (In fact, top reveals that it's eog that creates the new thumbnail if you use ctrl-C ctrl-V in nautilus.) If the new file name is obtained a different way, like using 'mv' on the command line, navigating to that folder in nautilus will cause a crash without attempting to generate a new thumbnail. So even if you wait several seconds, no thumbnail will exist for the file and nautilus will crash every time you navigate to that folder until you delete the file or rename it to a path for which it will have a valid thumbnail (meaning the file's mtime is correct). So this might only affect jpeg-2000 files, and not all files for which there is no valid output. Maybe with other files, the default thumbnail options (the ones not recorded in /usr/share/thumbnailers) consistently create at least a failed thumbnail, while this doesn't happen with jpeg-2000 files. But since nautilus is crashing before eog finishes creating a thumbnail (if using ctrl-C ctrl-V to copy), nautilus might be relying on a separate process from what it depends on for, say, obtaining a 'failed thumbnail' result for incomplete mp4 files, which don't cause a crash. One difference is that while gnome-thumbnailer has code for handling image formats as a fallback method, it isn't for video formats. I'm not sure if it's nautilus or gnome that's calling eog to create a thumbnail when ctrl-C ctrl-V is used. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1444790 Title: crash if thumbnailer fails to produce output Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Step 1: Use a custom thumbnailer which doesn't always produce output.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1444790] Re: crash if thumbnailer fails to produce output
If you rename a jp2 file to jpg, it doesn't cause nautilus to crash. It just shows the 'generic image' icon that's also used if an image is larger than the limit set for previewing, and eog is unable to open it. If a jp2 file is renamed to have a non-image suffix, nautilus will be busy (100% cpu) for a second or two and then the image will use the 'generic icon', without nautilus crashing. With image suffixes, this doesn't occur. I also managed to replicate a bug that I avoided reporting earlier because I couldn't replicate it again. A png image has a 'corrupted' thumbnail, what is obviously the result of the file being read in an unfinished state. That is, gnome-thumbnailer or nautilus, or whatever is creating thumbnails, should be waiting until a file's modification time is 3 seconds in the past before trying to create a thumbnail for it, based on the code I looked at. This seems to work for video files, but not for images. When this happened before I verified that the difference between the modification time for the thumbnail (now in ~/.cache/thumbnails in Ubuntu, previously in ~/.thumbnails), and the time for the file as recorded in the thumbnail's PNG data and the same as for the actual file, was less than three seconds, being around 1 second. Maybe nautilus is not using this code though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1444790 Title: crash if thumbnailer fails to produce output Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Step 1: Use a custom thumbnailer which doesn't always produce output.
