Description Bastien Nocera 2015-02-04 14:35:11 UTC 
Those have a mime-type in shared-mime-info now: application/x-partial-download

And it matches:
    <glob pattern="*.wkdownload"/>
    <glob pattern="*.crdownload"/>
    <glob pattern="*.part"/>

This will stop thumbnailers being opened on partial downloads, potentially breaking the thumbnailers (especially if the downloaders have downloaded random parts of the files, as Bittorrent programs do).

Does this really belong in Nautilus? It sounds to me like this is something that GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory should be aware of instead - e.g. within the can_thumbnail() API: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-desktop/tree/libgnome-desktop/gnome-desktop-thumbnail.h#n75

nautilus is the one figuring out the mime-type and which mime-type you'll get depends on whether you use data or just the filename. So gnome-desktop will always tell you you can thumbnail a file when it's a image/png...
