I also do not see thumbnails when I connect my Android phone to my PC,

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.
