    <desc>Control when thumbnails are used for files.</desc>
  </info>

<title>File manager preview preferences</title>

<p>The file manager creates thumbnails to preview image, video, and text
files. Thumbnail previews can be slow for large files or over networks, so
you can control when previews are made. Click <gui>Files</gui> in the top bar,
pick <gui>Preferences</gui> and select the <gui>Preview</gui> tab.</p>

    <title><gui>Files</gui></title>
    <p>By default, all previews are done for <gui>Local Files Only</gui>, those
    on your computer or connected external drives. You can set this feature to
    <gui>Always</gui> or <gui>Never</gui>. The file manager can
    <link xref="nautilus-connect">browse files on other computers</link> over
    a local area network or the internet. If you often browse files over a local
    area network, and the network has high bandwidth, you may want to set the
    preview option to <gui>Always</gui>.</p>
    <p>In addition, you can use the <gui>Only for files smaller than</gui>
    setting to limit the size of files previewed.</p>

    <title><gui>Folders</gui></title>
    <p>If you show file sizes in <link xref="nautilus-list">list view columns</link>
    or <link xref="nautilus-display#icon-captions">icon captions</link>, folders will
    be shown with a count of how many files and folders they contain. Counting items
    in a folder can be slow, especially for very large folders, or over a network.
    You can turn this feature on or off, or turn it on only for files on your
    computer and local external drives.</p>
