Comment 4 for bug 1303072

OK..so it happened again. one of the larger disks. Preferences set for making thumbnails , hash no, metadata, no, sound no,
symlinks disabled. There was no error in the terminal during the freeze up. The scan never showed completed and it scanned about 1/2 of the disk. I checked the system tasks and it showed RSS 47.9 mb and VM 947.8mb. There must be something else apaprently of memory size it works with . I have 16 GB of ram on my system. Is it a swap space or evince thumbnail database size or something else??

I just tried it again with thumbnails ruled out and it progressed. Before it had stalled on a pdf with thumbnails generated. The files after that were simple jpgs..nothing it's had problems with before on both accounts. It is not worth not having the thumbnails as its really important for the many pics I have...so I'm back to square one trying to figure out why it stalled.
