I'm also experiencing this bug. Nautilus will use most of my system memory when viewing folders with video files with a zoom of 150% or more. It will always crash and restart when memory usage builds up to about 500M. If I set the zoom back to 100% and reload the folder, memory usage will remain normal and stable.
I've attached a valgrind log. ** Attachment added: "Valgrind Log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14468639/valgrind.log -- 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
