When I wrote this report I was thinking that Nautilus Elementary has
something to do with it. Your experience makes this the likely cause.
Are they really that different? I didn't think they would be, but I'm
no developer.

This could cause confusion as to which program this is a bug for,
Nautilus Elementary or Cover Thumbnailer. I mention this because I did
notice that Nautilus Elementary does not create video file thumbnails
either, which was default behavior in the normal Nautilus. But after I
installed IMDB Thumbnailer the default thumbnailing behavior resumed
again if IMDB Thumbnailer could not find a movie thumb. (Default
behavior being a thumb of a still picture from within the video file.)
It may be that Nautilus Elementary is made this way on purpose, raising
the question whether this is a bug at all.

Maybe your friend will know more, I'm confusing myself already! Thanks
for the quick reply, I hope there's a fix because I miss my thumbnails!
