Title:
  Nautilus crashes/freezes when trying to open file while copy in
  progress

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I run into this when copying several hundreds of photos from an SD
  card to a server. The problem is fully reproducible.

  I can reproduce the bug like this:
  1) Open a Nautilus window to view contents of an SD card (plugged into a USB 2.0 reader).
  2) Open another window to view destination folder on the server.
  3) Start to copy (drag'n'drop) photos from the SD card to the server as a one big chunk so that the whole process will take several minutes to complete.
  4) Try to view a photo from the SD card while the copy is still in progress.

  What should happen:
  - The photo should open in the default image viewer.

  What happens instead:
  - Nothing happens. All Nautilus windows turn into grey and they don't respond anymore. The progress indicator on the Launcher gets stuck.
  - Nautilus cannot be opened again. The computer has to be rebooted in order to use Nautilus again.
