Thanks for adding note on other versions - I wasn't aware of that.  Do you happen to know what procedure is for the earlier versions of tumbler?  (I'm just curious -- don't "need" to know, so don't bother going crazy looking for solution if you don't already know it.)

Hi Gold_Finger

I've only read about these options regarding earlier version of tumbler, I haven't tried/tested any of them.

Turning thumbnails(tumbler) off in Thunar
Thunar > Edit > Preferences > Display Tab
Check/Uncheck - The Show Thumbnails setting

Upgrading tumbler
The references I saw on this discussed the option of enabling certain PPAs to upgrade tumbler.

Removing tumbler
I haven't tested if removing tumbler would cause problems someplace else in the system but I did do a simulation removal and it looks like it may work (i.e. not a bunch of dependencies being removed also).

Code:

apt-get -s remove tumbler
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
      apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
      Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
      so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
