[lubuntu-users] Shouldn't the thumbnail function be switched OFF by default

I'm going to suggest to the pcman devs to include the option in the 
preferences...

If i can find where they live...

bloody hell, that .thumbnail folder was HUGE already and i installed 
this pc only a few weeks ago! Even PDF's, screenshots,  this can't be 
good for the performance in the long run when you open up a folder and 
then it has to dig trough all the tumbnails in 1 folder and match those 
with the actual files....  That's a big waste of time and energy...

If other people would use this PC i could even consider this to be a 
privacy issue.... I really don't want to know what kind of video's other 
people have played....

And still i can see how other people may really like this feature.
As eyecany, or to spy on their family. :-s  So teens be aware, daddy can 
find your hidden thumbnails!!! :-)
