--- Begin Message ---Package: nautilus Version: 3.8.2-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, On opening a folder having a zero-byte file with extension .mp3, .m4a, .m4v, ..mp4, .ogg and the like, Nautilus segfaults and exits inmediately. * What led up to the situation? Update Nautilus to the latest version * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? When "Show thumbnails" settings is "Never" the problem does not happen. * What was the outcome of this action? Nautilus produces a Segmentation fault. * What outcome did you expect instead? Nautilus showing a generic icon for the corresponding file. ** Steps to reproduce this bug: 1. Open Nautilus, make sure "Show thumbnails" setting is "local" or "always". 2. Navigate to any folder you want. 3. Create an empty file with extension ".mp3" 4. Nautilus tries to generate the thumbnail and after a short while segfaults. Ath the end there's the output produced when running nautilus through GDB.
