** Description changed:

  Setting Nautilus preferences for previews to generate thumbnails only
  for files smaller than X does not have any effect on non-images.
  
  For example, if I set in Nautilus preferences to show thumbnails only
  for files smaller than 10 MB. Then Nautilus generates thumbnails only
  for images smaller than 10 MB -- but not for any other file type.
  Nautilus still generates thumbnails for non-images, such as videos or
  pdf files, regardless of their file size.
  
  This is a huge problem for users who have lots of big sized video files
  and don't want them to get thumbnailed, but want to keep thumbnailing
  for pictures.
+ 
+ It gets especially annoying when downloading huge video files. Then the
+ thumbnailing process goes on and on unless the file has finished
+ downloading. As a user I feel forced to switch off thumbnailing
+ completely as Nautilus fails to obey what is being set in the
+ preferences.

** Summary changed:

- Nautilus does not obey Previews preferences for files other than pictures
+ Nautilus does not obey Previews preferences for non-images
