Nautilus is showing previews while copying

[Manuel Teira]

When you copy a file from a remote (slow) folder to a local one, the local copy
preview (when copying a jpeg file, for example) is flashing between the clock
icon and a distorted (as the file is still not complete) preview.
I think the behaviour should be not to preview before the local copy is complete.

Upstream problem. The correspond bug report is:

I don't think this problem is solvable with the current file change notification
system in Linux. The kernel simply gives you a signal when something changes,
which will happen with every write during the copy.

The inotify API that may go into future kernels allows you to get notified when
the file is closed as opposed to having changed. Once that is in place, this
problem should be solvable.

This upload fixes the issue:

 nautilus (2.11.1-0ubuntu1) breezy; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream version:
     - use authentication in external connect to server app UI polish.
     - allow DnD of location button icon.
     - context menus on location button and location label in browser.
     - speed up delete in list view.
     - fix rename in list view breaking when there was a file change.
     - removed "new terminal" from desktop context menu
       If you want this, install the nautilus-open-terminal extension,
       its much better than this feature ever was (Ubuntu: #8091).
     - don't thumbnail files constantly if they're changing (Ubuntu: #1573).
     - fixed a loop that could happen on remote locations when removing
       a directory.
     - add properties of the current folder menu item to background
       context menu.
     - use --no-desktop in default folder handler to avoid taking over
       the desktop if you don't run gnome.
   * debian/control.in:
     - updated the Build-Depends.
   * debian/watch:
     - updated.
