Editing photo path to point to windows mount freezes app on Ubuntu9.10 #61
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. On a dual-boot Ubuntu9.10/XP sp3 machine, mount a NTFS share containing
photos using the 'NTFS configuration tool'. Confirm that the share is
mounted using 'ls -l <path to mount>'
2. Click on the photo widget setup icon and point to the required folder
(in my case /media/windows/Share/photos)
3. This apparently crashes the WidgetFX app (but it appears it resumes later)
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the photos displayed in the widget - instead the whole app
freezes (including clock) for a few minutes
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version 1.2.4 on Ubuntu 9.10 mounting an NTFS filesystem
Please provide any additional information below.
My photo share is quite large (not unusual) so it could possibly be
indexing the photos which takes time.
