Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-exe-
Nautilus trys to thumbnail a multi-gigabyte 7zip self-extracting archive and wrestool resident set size grows to 1GB while thumbnailing it, making the machine go into swap.
I've enabled "do not thumbnail pictures over 5MB" in Nautilus, but that limit seems not to apply for exe thumbnailer.

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: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ icoutils/ +bug/614918
Until that's fixed, a workaround would be to respect the Nautilus preferences checkbox you noted.
