nautilus locks upon opening thumbnails folder

[Peter Van den Bosch]

Opening ~/.thumbnails/normal makes nautilus lock up.
It probably gets in an infinite loop trying to make thumbnails of the thumbnails.

This may not be a frequently triggered bug, but hey, seeing software crash makes me always feel a little sad ;-)

works fine here , nautilus 2.12.1, breezy

Thanks for your bug. It works fine on my dapper installation. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Are you sure it's just not slow due to the number of images to list? Does it crash or lock? If it crashes could you get a backtrace using gdb?

Okay, it seems I should've been more patient.

All nautilus windows hanged for such a very long time, it seemed like it was in an infinite loop. So I just killed poor nautilus before it had the chance to react...
I am using dapper btw which is rocking harder with each update. Thanks for all your efforts!

That's a known upstream issue

could you try if that's still an issue using hardy?

Looks like it's fixed, Nautilus doesn't hang anymore on this folder.
It doesn't show pictures of the thumbnails anymore though.

closing the bug since the new version doesn't have the locking issue
