[Bug 521381] New: Firefox 3.5 breaks the thumbnail generation process in Nautilus, for all files, such as images and videos
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=521381 Summary: Firefox 3.5 breaks the thumbnail generation process in Nautilus, for all files, such as images and videos Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mythtwo@zoho.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.0) Gecko/20090623 SUSE/3.5.0-2.1 Firefox/3.5 Thumbails will not generate in Nautilus (the file browser for GNOME) ever since I have installed Firefox 3.5. What happens is that when Nautilus is generating thumbnails for images, videos, and etc, it will suddenly stop when it hits an HTML file. After this point, thumbnails are never generated again under the current user account. Removing the ~/.thumnails folder only works temporarily, until you hit another HTML file. A temporary fix for this is to run gconf-editor and go to desktop > gnome > thumbnailers > text@html and uncheck the box "enabled". I believe it has something to do with the new way that Firefox 3.5 renders HTML pages, and thus, it is breaking the thumbnail generation function of Nautilus. Software Versions: openSUSE 11.1 Firefox 3.5.0-2.1 Nautilus 2.24.1-6.4 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new folder and populate it with many image and video files. 2. Save an HTML file from a webpage to this new folder (make sure it sits somewhere in the middle of the folder, between the other files in terms of alphabetical order. 3. Refresh the folder to generate the thumbnails. Actual Results: No thumbnails should generate after Nautilus (file browser) attempts to create one for the HTML file. Expected Results: All thumbnails should have been generated within the folder. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Wolfgang, I'm far from being computer-literate, so the code you pasted is hard to understand. What exactly is gnome-web-photo trying to do? Would you believe a fix is possible from patching gnome-web-photo or from patching Firefox?
Once we found the bug we probably need to patch gnome-web-photo.
Also, did you install Firefox 3.5 via the Mozilla repository?
Yes, as those are "my" packages I usually run them.
Was Nautilus able to display a thumbnail preview for the HTML file you saved?
Yes. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
