That fixed it - thanks! I've been pondering with the idea of introducing a thumbnail for folders which contain >= 60% images. I don't yet know if thunar supports this, but first I should probably ask people what they think? I think it might make viewing photograph albums easier.
Also, my flatmate has recently started using thunar/thunar-thumbnailers, and while he likes the thumbnails he mentioned that they make it more difficult to tell the type of the file. For example he might have .tex .pdf and .dvi files all in the same directory... given that the latter two are generated from the .tex, and all three have the same thumbnail it is impossible to tell which is the pdf file without looking at the file extension. It can be quite frustrating when you click the wrong one and have to wait for eclipse to finish loading. Would it be possible to have the original file icon in the bottom right hand corner of the thumbnail?
