I've always found the `use the image as its own icon IFF it has a transparent background' behaviour confusing: I can't tell if something is an image and I'm seeing a thumbnail, or if I'm seeing an icon that's been set for the file. If it's the latter case, then I have no indication what the image *in* the file actually is until I open the file; I may not even have an indication of *what kind of file* it is until I try opening it, at which point I'll find that it's an image-file. I thought that the whole point of thumbnails was that I didn't have to try opening a file to determine what it looks like (or even what kind of file it is--whether it's even an image at all...). Of course, the version of Nautilus that I've been running (in Debian stable) is from before 2.21 and has this problem :(. I didn't even know that the confusing inconsistency in thumbnail-decoration had been fixed upstream! I guess this is very late, but big "thank you" for fixing it! -- Don't be afraid to ask (Lf.((Lx.xx) (Lr.f(rr)))). -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
