I'm able to reproduce this behavior as follows: 1. Download this file: http://openclipart.org/downloads/0.18/openclipart-0.18-full.zip (if that exact file isn't available simply download the latest full-release here: http://openclipart.org/media/downloads)
2. Before extracting it with File Roller (the default extractor), be sure to un-check the "Re-create Folders" option, so that all the files in the archive are written to a single folder without having sub- folders. 3. Navigate to the folder where the files were extracted to (using Nautilus). Nautilus will lock up and no folders will be displayed and your desktop icons will disappear until you force quit Nautilus. -- Nautilus crashes on folder with many thousands of files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/55278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
