I have a 700-kB JPEG image that I'd like to use as a desktop icon for one of my folders. I've already set the folder's icon to be the image, but this seems to cause Nautilus to sometimes go into an infinite loop, consuming a large amount of CPU in the process.
I'm guessing that what I should do is convert the JPEG file into a much smaller SVG file or a 48x48 PNG. Is that right? How would I do so? Where is the best place to put the new icon once I've created it?
