Managing Nautilus Thumbnails on Linux

in linux •  6 years ago 

This took half an afternoon to sort out, so is probably worth passing on: automatic display of image thumbnails in one's file manager can be a security issue, so for some security-conscious distributions (QubesOS, Whonix, probably Tails) it is turned off by default. If one wants to turn it on for Nautilus in one Debian-based QubesOS virtual machine (for instance) run this at startup:

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-image-thumbnails always

Alternatively, if yours in turned on and you wish it off:

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-image-thumbnails never

should get the job done. To get the current setting:

gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-image-thumbnails

To get your options:

gsettings range org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-image-thumbnails
