Re: [Inkscape-devel] Problem with Nautilus

As far as I can remember, that problem was caused by a bug in the creation of thumbnails. If it's that, you can temporarily fix it by deleting the .thumbnails folder and de-activating thumbnail generation from nautilus preferences. Nautilus is pretty clumsy when it comes to thumbnail creation. Even in newer versions you'll find some problems with that (for instance, browsing a folder with SVG documents with several embedded images - the new inkscape's default - will freeze nautilus until thumbnails are ready, and file limits specified in the preferences don't seem to apply).
