Comment 2 for bug 255030

Well I thought that my description explained it all ...

1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem:

a) Disable creation of thumbnails in nautilus settings.
b) Clear the thumbnails folder
c) Watch some pics using eog

2. the behavior you expected:
No thumbnail pics created in thumbnails folder.

3. the behavior you actually encountered:
For each pic watched in step c there is a thumbnail created in thumbnail folder.

This may result in thousands of thumbnails created...
If you still have questions do not hesitate to ask.
