Bug Description

When I open a directory with photos of Nikon NEF format, then gnome-raw-thumbnailers takes over most of my CPU and generates large files: A 20MB Nikon NEF image results into a 10-18 MB thumbnail generated in PNG format in .cache/thumbnails.

Thumbnails for NEF did not show by default in 18.10. I followed Nautilus isn't displaying thumbnails for my NEF files (photo raw)

As a resuilt the thumbnail directory is almost as big as my Pictures directory. How can I reduce the size of my thumbnails?
