<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
There are a few REALLY simple ways to circumvent this.<br>
<br>
1) use imagemagick, because it can thumbnail everything...
really.... pdf, images, movies.... Here is one for movies<br>
<br>
[Thumbnailer Entry]<br>
TryExec=convert<br>
Exec=convert %i[0] -thumbnail %s %o<br>
MimeType=application/mxf;application/ogg;application/ram;application/sdp;application/vnd.apple.mpegurl;application/vnd.ms-asf;application/vnd.ms-wpl;application/vnd.rn-realmedia;application/x-extension-m4a;application/x-extension-mp4;application/x-flash-video;application/x-matroska;application/x-netshow-channel;application/x-ogg;application/x-quicktimeplayer;application/x-shorten;image/vnd.rn-realpix;image/x-pict;misc/ultravox;text/x-google-video-pointer;video/3gp;video/3gpp;video/dv;video/divx;video/fli;video/flv;video/mp2t;video/mp4;video/mp4v-es;video/mpeg;video/msvideo;video/ogg;video/quicktime;video/vivo;video/vnd.divx;video/vnd.mpegurl;video/vnd.rn-realvideo;video/vnd.vivo;video/webm;video/x-anim;video/x-avi;video/x-flc;video/x-fli;video/x-flic;video/x-flv;video/x-m4v;video/x-matroska;video/x-mpeg;video/x-mpeg2;video/x-ms-asf;video/x-ms-asx;video/x-msvideo;video/x-ms-wm;video/x-ms-wmv;video/x-ms-wmx;video/x-ms-wvx;video/x-nsv;video/x-ogm+ogg;video/x-theora+ogg;video/x-totem-stream;audio/x-pn-realaudio;audio/3gpp;audio/ac3;audio/AMR;audio/AMR-WB;audio/basic;audio/flac;audio/midi;audio/mp2;audio/mp4;audio/mpeg;audio/ogg;audio/prs.sid;audio/vnd.rn-realaudio;audio/x-aiff;audio/x-ape;audio/x-flac;audio/x-gsm;audio/x-it;audio/x-m4a;audio/x-matroska;audio/x-mod;audio/x-mp3;audio/x-mpeg;audio/x-ms-asf;audio/x-ms-asx;audio/x-ms-wax;audio/x-ms-wma;audio/x-musepack;audio/x-pn-aiff;audio/x-pn-au;audio/x-pn-wav;audio/x-pn-windows-acm;audio/x-realaudio;audio/x-real-audio;audio/x-s3m;audio/x-sbc;audio/x-speex;audio/x-stm;audio/x-tta;audio/x-wav;audio/x-wavpack;audio/x-vorbis;audio/x-vorbis+ogg;audio/x-xm;application/x-flac;<br>
<br>
save it as /usr/share/thumbnailers/imagemagick-video.thumbnailer<br>
voila, fast, and easy<br>
<br>
2) delete the totem-video-thumbnailer file from the same directory<br>
<br>
no more pesky thumbnails.<br>
<br>
Of course, you need (from a terminal... you can use these
commands)<br>
pkill pcmanfm<br>
and then rerun<br>
pcmanfm --desktop &disown<br>
<br>
thumbnails are stored in<br>
~/.thumbnails/{normal,large}<br>
which (if it is unclear) means<br>
~/.thumbnails/normal/<br>
~/.thumbnails/large/<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>

I'd like more, actually. But, I agree that it's targeted to

everyone,<br>
<br>
I just discovered that pcmanfm makes thumbnails of every
little video snippet, and in my case it appears to consume a
lot of power on a laptop with an i3 CPU when i opened a
folder with video clips that i have made for a tutorial.<br>
It worked and worked, and don't even need thumbnails
there...<br>
<br>
Now, in a way it sometimes can be cute to have thumbnails,
but in comparison of the resources it consumes to make the
thumbnails it didn't seem to make sense to have this in an
environment that is configured as 'light'.<br>
<br>
Also I wonder where those thumbnails are stored and how this
is going to affect this laptop's performance in the log run.<br>
<br>
In short: In my opinion it would make sense to have this
feature turned off by default.<br>
