Initializes pygnomevfs in nautilus module's initialization (677 bytes, patch)
2007-12-02 09:36 UTC, Jonathan Rogers 		none Details | Review

Description Jonathan Rogers 2007-12-02 09:33:15 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When a Nautilus extension written in Python calls the get_vfs_file_info() method of a NautilusFileInfo object, the entire Nautilus process freezes.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a Python class extending nautilus.InfoProvider.
2. in the update_file_info(self,file) method, call file.get_vfs_file_info()


Actual results:
The Nautilus process begins consuming all available CPU time and all Nautilus Windows freeze.

Expected results:
The gnomevfs.FileInfo object is returned.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

This prevents Nautilus from freezing and causes the get_vfs_file_info() method of NautilusFileInfo objects to behave as expected.
