This is probably due to the inefficency of the GIF library that Nautilus uses. Since most GIFs tend to be relatively small (even animated GIFs) GIF libraries load the entire GIF into memory. If the GIF is animated it will decode the entire GIF and create a buffer for every frame. Byzanz can create extremely large animated GIFs, especially if you are recording the entire desktop. Nautilus is probably trying to open the GIF to create a thumbnail. Try saving the GIF in a directory that Nautilus doesn't monitor for changes (/tmp or /var/tmp maybe). |
