I also do not see thumbnails when I connect my Android phone to my PC, and I was not able to find a work-around (I have enabled thumbnail viewing for all locations in Nautilus, and it does not work). I've gotten into the habit of just moving all files to my PC so I get thumbnails, moving and deleting files as needed, and then moving the remaining files back to the phone if necessary.
Can those of you folks who see the same "misbehavior" chip in by confirming here - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1960854 ?
I poked around a bit and it looks like this behavior is intentional:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/issues/497#note_875764
Basically, a flag is added to MTP GVFS mounts to prevent nautilus from attempting to create thumbnails, due to slow performance of those types of mount points.
There’s a link to an even older issue (that predated the move to gitlab) so it’s been that way for a while.
Yes, that was why I filed this as a "bug" - because it used to work in the past - and it's bit disappointing, if was to vent out, that nobody from devs commented there. I think it will be a reasonable request from all the users - such a mount being slow or not - that Nautilus settings will be fixed or changed because they are utterly misleading, if that is how 'gvfs' works in reality right now. Or! give back that executive decision to the users - which I'd advocate for - whether or not users want/need thumbnails off their Android phones.
many thanks, L
