The bug still exists in hardy, or at least parts of it: thumbnails are recreated often for files which are downloaded. According to the upstream bug nothing has changed since 2005-05-08 and a steady stream of duplicates is still coming.
Even though nautilus updates the thumbnail only when the file has not been modified in a few seconds (3s according the upstream bug), at least with bittorrent there are often short breaks between writes because of buffering and the thumbnailer still gets often activated. When the thumbnailer works ok, this does not cause too bad CPU waste, but occasionally with broken files (which is kind of normal state for incomplete files) it will waste all cpu for a while before giving up. This actually seems to be "fixed" in hardy, nautilus does not bother to try again if thumbnailer fails even once. As a result there is no cpu waste but often no thumbnails either, if nautilus was displaying the directory while the file was downloaded. I am not sure if that is intentional or not... -- gnome-video-thumbnailer uses all available CPU power when using bittorrent https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/79030 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
