Bug Description
I was looking at a directory on a fash drive that had amoung other things two jpeg2000 images (6gb each) and a bunch of pdf documents. I checked task viewer after the pc started stuttering, and it looked like tumbler had aquired 5.2gb of ram(the system has 6gb total) and the swap was 100% used. So i killed the tumbler process and the swap and ram came back... seemed like a bug.

For me this happens when I navigate to ~/Pictures folder. There's a very large .gif file there, which you can take here: http:// depositfiles. com/files/ vcpqmrwd4
The file is GIF country map 14983x19281, file size 128MB. So I suppose tumblerd daemon just chokes on this.
I have 1GB of memory. First memory goes up to the limit, then swap goes to 100%, it sits like this for about 2 minutes, unusable, and then back to normal.
I found an old thread here: http:// mail.xfce. org/pipermail/ thunar- dev/2008- February/ 004350. html discussing the problem, and from what I understand this is still not implemented. But if someone knows the solution (make thumbnailer ignore large pictures) this would be helpful.
For now I will just delete the file ;-)
