Description Jakub Steiner 2004-02-16 17:02:26 UTC 
I happen to have downloaded a jpeg wich is about 10000x6000px, but highly
compressed, ending in about 6MB file. Nautilus is set to thumbnail only
files smaller than 10MB, so it tries with this one and eats all my 512MB
RAM and swap and is very hard to kill.

Although lowering the limit seems to be a quick fix, I'd like to keep my
PNG files thumbnailed :/
Comment 1 Elijah Newren 2004-02-16 21:12:02 UTC 
Hmm.  I'll take a stab at the correct priority and severity settings
and tack the bugsquad keyword on.
Comment 2 Ben Maurer 2005-03-10 01:19:25 UTC 
We probably open up the, create the full size image, and then make that into a
thumbnail. We should likely limit the size of the in-memory image we create.

I got the same problem with a 2.2 Mb GIF screencast (190 frames).

The GdkPixbufLoader patch was committed and is included in Nautilus 2.15.3. All your memory consumption issues should have gone :).

FYI, the patch that was committed is similar to
