Description Ondrej Holy 2016-05-04 14:01:55 UTC 
Nautilus should use G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_PREVIEW_ICON regardless of G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_USE_PREVIEW (so even if G_FILESYSTEM_PREVIEW_TYPE_NEVER is used). It is not good idea to generate thumbnails e.g. for gphoto2 backend, so we changed _IF_LOCAL to _NEVER (Bug 765843), because thumbnailers do not use preview icons by default (Bug 738503). But the backend provides preview icons (that's why _IF_LOCAL was used), so it would be nice to use them...

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
