If you read the context in the gitlab issue I posted, basically performance is terrible when previews were being generated. Someone complained (back when it was originally filed) that it should be controlled by a setting and the Nautilus/gvfs developers chose not to. The only way it’ll be switched back is to open a new issue, perhaps with a merge request with code improving the threading performance enough to make thumbnails not bring the whole interface to a stall. — Jonathan Billings _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
