Comment 40 for bug 305546

I'm on Karmic because my hardware isn't supported by higher versions - ATi 4250 which kills booting on later versions. .svg preview kills nautilus and it really needs fixing. Non-techs here can't understand why their desktop background suddenly disappears! I have set my Nautilus preview option to not display files > 500k in preview because it seems to be the bigger Inkscape files that cause problems. Its a work around but not a satisfactory fix. I'd fix it myself if I knew how! Disable preview for .svg should not be that hard and it is better to display a generic icon for one filetype than crash the whole system. Another workaround if you can use samba is to put the files on a smb share because then icons are not displayed.
