Nautilus does not respect the file size limit settings when creating thumbnails for video files. I've set the limit to 3mb (Desktop->Preferences->File Manager->Preview->"Only for files smaller than") but Nautilus still tries to create thumbnails for files much lager than that.
Is this beeing looked into for the FC5 release?
This is a totem issue, as that is what does the video thumbnails. I'm not sure it really should be fixed though, as the size doesn't affect the time it takes to thumbnail a video in the same way it takes for an image. I.E. Thumbnailing a 100 meg image is bad, while thumbnailing a 600 meg movie is totally ok, and expected.
What is your concern with thumbnailing a movie > 3mb? The frame size is most likely much smaller (and what is really being thumbnailed)
That means that the bug really is in the File Management Preferences which gives a wrong impressions of what that option actually means. If this limit is really only applied to images then the dialog shouldn't claim it is applied to all "Other Previewable Files".
I aggree, it should be file upstream though. It is hard to come up with precise verbage though. Thumbnail is Capture < MB? I even dislike having the user determine a threshold. Perhaps just a slider fast <-------------> flashy
Filed this upstream and added the bug to the external bugzilla references.
