Bug Description

Opening a folder containing a large number of svg images causes nautilus to crash. It dies while creating numerous thumbnails. Easy reproduced by browsing openclipart with nautilus.

Thanks - I just tried the same thing on another machine which has the
newer libraries and nautilus didn't crash.

It became basically frozen for a few minutes while thumbnailing and the
whole machine got very sluggish. Once it finished thumbnailing everything
seemed to be fine. (A good directory for testing this is the openclip art
sign_and_symbols directory which has something like 200 svgs)

thanks for responding so quickly to such a minor complaint.

Hmmm
Not so fast - it seems that even with the new svg libraries nautilus can
crash opening a folder with sufficiently many svgs (400+). Granted this may
be a stupid thing to do but thats what happens when you browse openclipart
with nautilus. Maybe furthter upstream fixes will cure this.

If it crashes, could you please provide us with a backtrace? bug-buddy should catch it.

Sorry for not providing a backtrace with the original post.

I just used bug-buddy to send a report (presumably upstream).

Output from bugbuddy follows as requested:

I'm able to reproduce this as follows:

1. Download this file:
http://openclipart.org/downloads/0.18/openclipart-0.18-full.zip
(if that exact file isn't available simply download the latest full-release here: http://openclipart.org/media/downloads)

2. Before extracting it with File Roller (the default extractor), be sure to un-check the "Re-create Folders" option, so that all the files in the archive are written to a single folder without having sub-folders.

3. Navigate to the folder where the files were extracted to (using Nautilus).

Nautilus will lock up and no folders will be displayed and your desktop icons will disappear until you force quit Nautilus.

The svgs stuff is happening with me too. But in my case I have only 8 svgs and nautilus crashs locking the file browser, and sometimes the whole desktop, its always in the same folder i have here (Documents>jarbas_works). Its the only folder with more than 2 svgs, so i presume the svgs are somewhat related to the crash im having.
