Bug Description

current build number: 209
device name: krillin
channel: ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed

com.ubuntu.gallery 2.9.1.1132

The gallery app completely hangs when there are lot of pictures on the SD Card (spinner) and doesn't recover.

A real world scenario would be a user using an SD Card from a previous device and already loaded with content.

Test Case:
1. Fill the SD card with pictures
$ for n in $(seq -w 3000); do cp <reference_picture>.jpg <path_to_sdcard>/Pictures/picture_${n}.jpg; done

2. Wait until mediascanner finishes indexing the photos
3. Open the gallery app

Expected Result
gallery app is working fine and responsive

Actual Result
The gallery app completely hangs and doesn't recover.
