As Fr_neo points out, the workaround thumbnailers do not work on NFS (Samba) drives. I can't tell if the thumbnailer is timing out or what, but it consumes the desktop for maybe fifteen to thirty seconds trying to make a thumbnail of each PDF file. If a directory is full of PDFs, the system slows to a crawl. Why does this not work for NFS-mounted directories?
