Description of problem: When selecting file "properties" for large image files (48MB TIFF, 17.3MB DNG) the "properties" window fails to respond when 'close' is selected. Forcing a quit removes the desktop. Smaller files, eg 6.5MB JPEG the "properties" window closes OK Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-3.4.2-5.fc17 (64-bit) How reproducible: Every time I select properties on example files Steps to Reproduce: 1.select file > properties 2.select close 3. Actual results: window fails to respond Expected results: window closes Additional info: System is up-to-date as of the time of this report. Applications > Advanced settings has "file manager handle desktop" set to "on"
A backtrace of the hang would be nice to have. The fact this happens with TIFF and DNG images though makes me think you're hitting this [1] gdk-pixbuf bug. The TIFF loader has been made threadsafe for F18 though; you might want to check if that works correctly there; the libopenraw loader would need to be made threadsafe too.

I can try to get a backtrace, if you can direct me as to how I should do that.
Sure; you should use debuginfo-install nautilus to make sure you have the relevant debug information installed. Then from a terminal run $ gdb nautilus and press 'r' at the prompt. When the application hangs, hit ctrl+C in gdb and type 'thread apply all bt full', then paste the result here (if you're interested you can find instructions here [1] to log directly to a file instead).

OK, followed your instructions, but when the window froze, there was nothing following the ctlr+c and 'thread apply all bt full'. I'll have another try shortly, and perhaps set up the logging to a file and see if that helps.
I forgot to mention that if you have the desktop window on (i.e. you have nautilus always running in the background), you should quit the existing nautilus instance with "nautilus --quit" first thing before starting.
Created attachment 662701 [details] degug log file log file from running 'gdb nautilus' for the condition when 'properties' window freezes.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
