thumbnails in nautilus on Ubuntu

Linux@lemmy.ml – 11 points – 12 months ago

I have a partition on a remote computer that I mount to my laptop via sshfs. That partition serves as network storage and thus has a lot of pictures and videos on it. But it does not have thumbnails for those. I have installed ffmpegthumbnailer, but that did not fix it. I'm on Ubuntu 23.04. Any ideas?

Have you tried going into nautilus settings to ensure it will generate thumbnails for remote mounts? Not just local files. I am not able to access a computer but I distinctly recall that setting existing

Yes, there is a setting for that. Set "show thumbnails" to "always". There is also a file size limit you may need to adjust.

There is, I must've somehow missed it

You were right! Idk how I didn't see that!

Can't remember having seen that, but I'll take another look once I get home from work. Thanks for the hint!
