Description

tumblerd generates hundreds of png thumbnails per minute in /tmp, all of the same pdf or ps file.

My OS: Arch Linux, tumbler 0.2.0-1, libreoffice-fresh 5.4.2-2

How I could reproduce it:

  • open LibreOffice Writer, create a new document, print it to file (pdf or ps) in /tmp
  • open /tmp in Thunar and watch the "tumbler-....png" files appearing and disappearing

How I fixed it:

  • uninstalled tumbler
  • killall tumblerd
