Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I uses sometimes obexfs to get files from my phone to computer via IRDa.
This has one "feature" - any file transfer is very slow, roughly few
kB/s. When I open some directory on such fs in Nautilus, it tries to
download every file in folder causing double transfer of every file -
once for thumbnailing it and second time for actual download. Side
effect is also freezing it's UI.
Nautilus should prevent something to do this. I could imagine two approaches:
1) blacklist potentially slow fs's. Apart from obexfs, remote fs's can have
unpredictable speed and also removable fs's connected throught slow interfaces,
like USB 1.1
2) check if getting file for thumbnailing doesn't take too long time. If it
does, stop making thumbs of files in that particular directory
It would also be nice if thumbnailing run asynchronously, so that any
problem here wouldn't cause UI freeze.
