I have encountered the same bug with both nautilus 2.12 and now in Dapper with 2.14.1.
It has only appeared when I have had a certain image or video file in my home directory when I have started nautilus and then gone away when I have moved the files (which have worked ok in programs, though) to some subdirectory. I really don't have a clue what has caused this, I have all file previews disabled. -- Nautilus starts eating up all of the cpu https://launchpad.net/bugs/20639 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
