GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 114185
Thumbnailer tries in vein to handle incomplete AVIs.
Last modified: 2006-04-10 17:18:39 UTC
When the thumbnailer tries handling an incomplete AVI, it just sits there doing nothing. As Totem can run incomplete AVIs (for the most part), it should either A) Use a different method for incomplete files or B) postpone thumbnailing 'til a later time. In either case, adding a NICE value to the thumbnailer would help, as an active thumbnailer seriously interferes with playback.
These problems are related to the way the thumbnailing system works. Reassigning to libgnomeui.
Maybe a 1 second delay (or some other arbitrary amount of time) should be enforced after a file has been marked as having been altered.
This should already work. Fix is in nautilus 2.11.1 2005-05-08 Martin Wehner <martin.wehner@gmail.com> * libnautilus-private/nautilus-thumbnails.c: (thumbnail_thread_start): Don't try to thumbnail files which have been modified in the last few seconds to avoid constantly re-thumbnailing them. Current cool-off period is three seconds. Fixes bug #107418. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 107418 ***
