Public bug reported: The USB 2.0 connection speed on my new Canon S95 camera is not very fast, so when browsing the images directly, Nautilus' thumbnailing process seems to choke the connection.
The thumbnailing takes forever, particularly for CR2 files and long .MOV files. During thumbnailing, I cannot copy or view or do anything to these files for several minutes while the thumbnailing is taking place. Sometimes the thumnailing process crashes nautilus. Nautilus should not automatically thumbnail images on these external cameras if the thumbnailing process is going to bog down the camera connection. Nautilus should either: 1) Use a faster thumbnailing process, or 2) Not thumbnail on digital cameras by default.
