disable thumbnails? Thunar did not work?

[gold_finger]

Sorry Elliot,

I didn't have time yesterday to explain that link.

Basically you are going to create your own user config file for the thumbnailer program and set all of the defaults to NOT make thumbnails.  I just tested this out and it will work.

Open up a Terminal and follow directions below.

First make a directory under your home to hold the config file.  (Substitute your username where I have "$USER" below.) (Nevermind about substituting for $USER -- I changed the commands from what I originally wrote, but forgot to take out notice to make substitution.)

Code:

mkdir ~/.config/tumbler

Next we'll copy the default system config file for it over to your new directory.

Code:

cp /etc/xdg/tumbler/tumbler.rc ~/.config/tumbler

Now we will open the file with your text editor, leafpad

Code:

leafpad ~/.config/tumbler/tumbler.rc

You will see a file that looks like this:




Just go down the file and make sure that each category of thumbnails and change "Disabled = False" on each one to "Disabled = True".  Then just save the file and close out the leafpad text editor.  Close the terminal too.

Done.

No more thumbnails will be generated!
