Setting Nautilus preferences for previews to generate thumbnails only for files smaller than X does not have any effect on non-images.
For example, if I set in Nautilus preferences to show thumbnails only for files smaller than 10 MB. Then Nautilus generates thumbnails only for images smaller than 10 MB -- but not for any other file type. Nautilus still generates thumbnails for non-images, such as videos or pdf files, regardless of their file size.
This is a huge problem for users who have lots of big sized video files and don't want them to get thumbnailed, but want to keep thumbnailing for pictures. |

It gets especially annoying when downloading huge video files. Then the thumbnailing process goes on and on unless the file has finished downloading. As a user I feel forced to switch off thumbnailing completely as Nautilus fails to obey what is being set in the preferences. |
