When using the video lens (just opening it is enough) slows down my PC incredibly.
The system monitor shows dozens of "totem thumbnailers" (see the screenshot below).

I have severl 100Gb of Videos.

Hello,
could you please answer the following questions to help fixing this bug?

- Do you still have the default Video folder?
- If yes, how many videos does it contain? (I don't need an exact number, an estimation will do)
- Do you still have the default /home/user name/.cache folder? (Type Ctrl+H in the file manager to display hidden folders)

Thank you very much.

I am using the standard "Videos" Folder which contains several subfolders.
I am using the default .cache folder.

My Video Folder contains 1692 Files totalling at 1.0 Tb.
