GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 593229
should not attempt to create thumbnails for files being downloaded or copied
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:54:38 UTC
This report was filled at originally at: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/417666 Totem's thumbnail application has an annoying habit of attempting to create thumbnails for files that are currently being downloaded or copied. Due to the fact that these files keep changing and are incomplete this causes the thumbnail creator to suck up 100% in many cases or it creates worthless thumbnails of pure green. The obvious solution seems to be not attempting thumbnail extraction on such incomplete files ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Aug 23 12:56:58 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: totem 2.27.2-0ubuntu3 ProcEnviron: LANG=da_DK.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-6.26-generic SourcePackage: totem Uname: Linux 2.6.31-6-generic x86_64
Totem doesn't do that, nautilus does it using libgnomeui.

The bug still exists in Ubuntu 12.04 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-6.26-generic SourcePackage: totem Uname: 3.2.0-29-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 27 17:03:23 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux As I see it is "unconfirmed" and it is a duplicate of bug 107418 which is nearly 10 years old, may I assume than "unconfirmed" just means "ignored"?
Sorry, I did not update the ProcVersionSignature but you can see the output of "uname -a" which is the correct one.
(Nautilus 3.10.1 and Fedora 20) I don't have any CPU usage issues but if I open a directory containing a video file that is still being downloaded, its thumbnail will never be created. If I manually delete the failed thumbnail cache and refresh the directory, the thumbnails is displayed as expected. It would be nice to have the thumbnail created when the download is finished without having to clean the cache myself.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
