Title:
exe thumbnailer eats all memory while thumbnailing
6 years later, and this is still a problem.
Besides wrestool, might want to take a look at the md5sum command that
creates an icon based on the file md5sum when there's no icon embedded -
this also creates a lot of disk activity and cached RAM. I hacked up a
solution with changing a line to
I've added code that makes the g-e-t respect the
org.gnome.nautilus.preferences thumbnail-limit value, please test.

exe thumbnailer eats all memory
Again, sorry for the late response. I'm not sure why LP isn't emailing
me. I've tried manually subscribing now, so hopefully it will work.
I see no changes to the Natty version. My patch still applies cleanly.
It may not be the best solution, but it works for me.

Oops - either LP didn't send me a bug mail or I missed it.
I think there might be a better workaround.
1) When memory is low, don't spawn a parallel thumbnail process for every
executable in the folder -- do them one at a time instead. This probably
accounts for most of the cases of deadlock.
If you're talking about gnome-exe-thumbnailer upstream, I'm basically
it. I'm putting a new version in natty momentarily though, so you'll
need to rediff.

I ran into this again today a few times, and it pissed me off enough to
create a workaround. Attached is a patch intended for /usr/bin/gnome-
exe-thumbnailer.
It prevents wrestool from being called on files above a certain size
(hardcoded as 100MB). This solved the issue for me, although a

Oops - sorry I didn't reply. Just happened again, so I refound this bug
report.
Yeah, data loss happens when memory runs out and I have to forcibly
restart. Still a significant issue for me.

Not sure why this bug is mark Fix Released. It should be reopened with a
High priority.
100% reproducible, can kill systems in a matter of seconds and result in
data loss.

exe thumbnailer eats all memory while thumbnailing large files
I had marked it fixed because there were substantial performance
improvements in the new wrestool, so absent further reports of failure
it seemed right to give it the benefit of the doubt.
Data loss is a curious thing here and shouldn't be happening with just

gnome-exe-thumbnailer (0.6-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low
* New version (thanks Jan Nekvasil)
- use of %i (local file with full path) instead of %u
- avoid dependency on python
- only thumbnail
Yes, it's a problem. The best fix would be for wrestool to not have to
load the entire executable to find the icon itself, although I'm not
familiar enough with wrestool to know if it's possible. See:
