If it has been running since 6.2 came out and those directories have not been cleaned out I can understand why. Delete everything in them, they don't matter anyway. > The issue happens only when I'm inside a directory with images or when > I have images on my desktop.

Delete them from the command line. yes | rm "~/.thumbnails/fail/*" yes | rm "~/.thumbnails/normal/*" > I know I can disable thumbnails using gconf-editor and gconftool2 but > I want to get to the bottom of it There is org.gnome.desktop.thumbnail-cache.maximum-age & org.gnome.desktop.thumbnail-cache.maximum size ... but are they implemented in your ancient version? I have no idea. You also have "org.gnome.desktop.thumbnailers.disable-all". But again, no idea what that does on your version. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awill...@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
