User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070820 Firefox/2.0.0.6 Build Identifier: The latex thumbnailer fails obviously on incomplete latex files. The problem is when you have latex files that get included into other latex files they don't have a \begin{document}. tetex will fail on this files and generate an incredible large logfile using a large amount of cpu. Somehow the thumbnailer should check first if at least some minimalistic requirements are met. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a latex file without proper start and end 2. make it large like a Ph.D. thesis :-) 3. wait for the thumbnailer trying to run latex on it Actual Results: puts cpu to 100% for quite some time Expected Results: either ignore such files or try to find the including file and start compiling there.
Ok, sorry this has taken me so long to look at. Been very busy. I have (hopefully) fixed this in SVN. Would you mind trying the latest version please? Post back with your findings, if it works for you then I'll make a release. Thanks.
This has now been resolved (0.3.1)
