I ran into this again today a few times, and it pissed me off enough to create a workaround. Attached is a patch intended for /usr/bin/gnome- exe-thumbnailer.
It prevents wrestool from being called on files above a certain size (hardcoded as 100MB). This solved the issue for me, although a more general solution would be preferred. ** Patch added: "max_filesize.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-exe-thumbnailer/+bug/602767/+attachment/1890606/+files/max_filesize.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602767 Title: exe thumbnailer eats all memory while thumbnailing large files -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
