Tumbler

Does anyone know who takes care of Tumbler and if it is actually part of XFCE? Seriously, I thought the issues with Tumbler were supposed to be fixed. I did a HDD recovery recently and ended up with a folder of 1300 media files and tumbler floods my computer's memory and rendered it useless. I have turned it off for now but would like to be able to use it. I found an old Ubuntu bug dating back to 2011 for something similar but it is confirmed/unassigned.

Any one know who looks after it and if we can submit a bug that might actually get fixed (he says not holding his breath)?

There is a workaround script to deal with this issue on this Arch wiki page, but it should work fine for other distros as well.

Tumbler bugs can be found here. Looks like there are a couple similar to your issue. Feel free to add to them. They are also listed over at the Xfce BountySource Issues page.
