thunar slows when selecting a large .svg file

RESOLVED: INVALID

xubuntu 11.10

I have some large (25M) .svg files in a directory.

when I click on one to select it in Thunar it takes a long time. Even if I turn off icons. And during that time all other actions are disabled (eg I can't change my mind and select something else).

It's worse using the keyboard, because it's hard to hop over the files that I know will block.

I claim Thunar should limit how much CPU time it spends in the main GUI thread.

thanks
Andrew

Reopen if this is still reproducible, providing some file to download from somewhere and test.

Shows SVG file sizes when opening a directory

The bug exists.

Linux panther 4.8.4-040804-generic #201610220733 SMP Sat Oct 22 11:35:18 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS \n \l

Replicate

1. Create two or three large SVG files (at least 15 MB) in a single directory
2. Start Firefox
3. Visit a web site with the ability to upload a file (e.g., https://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi ...)
4. Click Browse...
5. Set the directory to the location with large SVG files

Expected Results

The directory opens instantly, having ignored attempting to render thumbnails of any files greater than a certain amount, or total file sizes exceeding a certain amount. (For example, maybe the limit is "don't read more than 1 MB" for thumbnails. The limit should be user-configurable.)

Actual Results

The application tries to render two or three 15 MB SVG files, which takes a long time on a fast computer. It would be painfully slow on older hardware.

Work Around

None. Suffer through waiting, which also locks up the application used to open a file.
