Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Hello! I'm using an up-to-date Gutsy; a few updates ago (I think I saw
something thumbnail-related in the changelists) Nautilus started to
behave strangely:
I have "thumbnail-able" files on the desktop at all times, including
several PDF documents. They have been there for a while, so I'm quite
sure they have already been thumbnailed.
For some reason, the thumbnails are not usually displayed. I haven't
been able to notice exactly when this happens, but at some point I'd
look at the desktop and see that all thumbnail-able files (not only
PDFs) have the "calculating thumbnail" icon. (Again, they are old files,
I'm sure the thumbnail already exists.) They stay like this
indefinitely, until I either (i) click-select one of them, in which case
the selected item gets its thumbnail almost instantly, or (ii) refresh
the Desktop by pressing F5, in which case all icons get their
thumbnails.
I suppose there must be some synchronization issue with the thumbnailing
thread. This doesn't happen with new files (eg, things downloaded by
Firefox get their thumbnails automatically), so it's probably something
that appears only for already-thumbnailed files. (E.g., the thumbnailing
thread doesn't do anything, but the display thread waits for an answer.)
Any hints on where to look for more clues?
