Nautilus does not allow thumbnail for image size above 4096 KiB

[Joachim R.]

In Ubuntu 18.10, Nautilus doesn't allow thumbnail size for image above 4096KiB. In preference pane, it is not possible to increase value above 4096.

This is a regression, because it was possible before. By the way, whatever the value of dconf property org/gnome/nautilus/preferences/thumbnail-limit, if it is above 4096, Nautilus will not observe it (Setting the max image size for thumbnail generation in Nautilus preference pane is correctly changing org/gnome/nautilus/preferences/thumbnail-limit)

Other funny things : the default value for org/gnome/nautilus/preferences/thumbnail-limit is 10MiB, so if it is at default value, Nautilus is showing (and observing) its hard-coded max of "4096" (4MiB) !

No workaround found as there is no anwser to this question:

Thank you for your bug report, could you also report that upstream on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues ?
