Details
When a user tries to change their background to a picture
from "Pictures", gnome-control-center will try to create and
show thumbnails for images in that directory all at once,
resulting in major slowdowns, high memory usage and complete
lockup of the app if you have a lot of pictures in that
folder (see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/issues/191)
There is a workaround for this (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/merge_requests/214) and some distros like Fedora have adopted it (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-control-center/tree/master). It would be nice if this patch was added for Arch package too until this is fixed upstream. |
