Upon further inspection this seems to be caused by nautilus trying to regenerate the thumbnail each time, and only happens when zoom is set to higher than 100% (150% in my case), so it must be related to : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/204434
The weird thing is there's no gnome-video-thumbnailer process running like when a thumb is generated for the first time. The process, whatever it actually is, takes a very long time and a lot of memory for each file, compared to when zoom is at 100%. -- Nautilus rapidly eats memory when video thumbnails are active https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219878 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
