Thumbnailing blocks file rename operations
Last modified: 2005-01-05 19:56:48 UTC
Please describe the problem: When attempting to rename files in a folder containing files that are being thumbnailed, focus is repeatedly 'stolen' from the file being renamed by the thumbnailing process, even when it is a different files(s) that are having thumbnails generated Similarly, attempting to rename a file while thumbnailing is in process terminates the rename operation (even if you are halfway through typing the new name) when the thumbnail is complete. Steps to reproduce: 1. go to a folder full of unthumbnailed video files 2. while thumbnailing is in progress, attempt to rename one or more of the files 3. get annoyed at your inability to do so easily Actual results: rename operations randomly 'quit', leaving you with a half-renamed file and frustrated Expected results: thumbnails should be updated in the background, and should never interrupt an in-progress operation such as file rename Does this happen every time? Every time thumbnail generation is in progress, yes Other information: Most noticeable with video files
