Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I have a camera with a low speed USB connection. Generating previews
for the pictures means downloading each picture in turn, where each
image takes a second to download. When I have 100 pictures on the
camera and only care about the 10 I just took, this means I have to wait
over a minute to view the ones that interest me.
When sorting the queue of files to generate previews for, the most-
recently-modified files should be placed earlier in the queue, as
they're more likely to be interesting to the user.
If there's a particularly good reason why this is a bad idea in the
general case, how about detecting when previews are taking a long time,
and using a different sorting algorithm in that case?
