Description Ed Catmur 2007-01-24 20:23:37 UTC 
Load a large directory into totem (e.g. totem /path/to/my/music/collection, or drag-and-drop, or Movie->Open...) and totem will block the mainloop while it recursively adds the directory to the playlist.  This is particularly unfortunate if you accidentally click Add while navigating up through your collection in the Movie->Open... dialog.

Observed in totem-2.16.4, gnome-vfs-2.17.90.
Comment 1 Ed Catmur 2007-01-24 20:25:05 UTC 
Note for fixing: src/totem-pl-parser.c, totem_pl_parser_parse_internal().
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2007-01-25 00:07:39 UTC 
That's known, and normal (unfortunately). I don't think poking in totem_pl_parser_parse_internal is going to be enough to come up with a *good* solution to this.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.
