6 years later, and this is still a problem. Besides wrestool, might want to take a look at the md5sum command that creates an icon based on the file md5sum when there's no icon embedded - this also creates a lot of disk activity and cached RAM. I hacked up a solution with changing a line to 'HUE=$(head -c 16384 "$INPUTFILE" | md5sum | cut -c 1-2)', too lazy to make a proper patch.
Using CRC instead of md5sum would probably be sufficient for this purpose. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602767 Title: exe thumbnailer eats all memory while thumbnailing large files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-exe-thumbnailer/+bug/602767/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
