[Pkg-lxde-maintainers] Bug#583221: pcmanfm: Pcmanfm freezes when thumbnailing image files

[Nicolas Corsyn]

Package: pcmanfm
Version: 0.5-3
Severity: important


The problem happens when I copy image files (jpeg)  from one folder to another, while I'm viewing the 
target folder. 
Pcmanfm displays displayes correctly every new image in the folder, except the last one being copied: It 
freezes completely and it's impossible doing anything more.
After killing, at re-starting the program everything is OK, and I checked that 
the integrity of my copied files is OK. -> Seems it's only a problem with the thumbnailer. (I think this 
should be disabled by default, since, moreover, it doesn't work correctly: it rarely displays all the 
images, even when the type is supported, it only displays (randomly) a few of them, and often, non of them)

I should point out that the freezing I mentionned above is 'killable' with SIGTERM, doesn't need SIGKILL, 
when it's like the program is just freezed, but not 'crashed'. However I can't kill the window containing 
pcmanfm with my wm.

Tnank you for taking in account this bug,

N.C.
