<p>The file manager creates thumbnails to preview image, video, and text
21
26
files. Thumbnail previews can be slow for large files or over networks, so
22
you can control when previews are made.
23
In any file manager window, click <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui>
24
<gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq> and select the <gui>Preview</gui> tab.</p>
26
<p>By default, all previews are only done for local files on your computer
27
or connected external drives. The file manager can
28
<link xref="nautilus-connect">browse files on other computers</link> over
29
a local area network or the internet. If you often browse files over a local
30
area network, and the network has high bandwidth, you may want to set some
31
or all of the preview options to <gui>Always</gui>.</p>
27
you can control when previews are made. Click <gui>Files</gui> in the top bar,
28
pick <gui>Preferences</gui> and select the <gui>Preview</gui> tab.</p>

36
<p>The icon for plain text files looks like a piece of paper with text
37
inside. The file manager automatically extracts the first few lines of
38
text from the file and shows it in the icon. You can turn this feature
39
on or off, or turn it on only for files on your computer and local
43
<title><gui>Other Previewable Files</gui></title>
44
<p>The file manager can automatically create thumbnails for images,
45
videos, PDF files, and various other file types. Applications with
46
custom file types can even provide thumbnail support for files they
47
create. You can turn this feature on or off, or turn it on only for
48
files on your computer and local external drives. You can also only
49
allow thumbnails to be created for files below a certain file size.</p>

33
<p>By default, all previews are done for <gui>Local Files Only</gui>, those
34
on your computer or connected external drives. You can set this feature to
35
<gui>Always</gui> or <gui>Never</gui>. The file manager can
36
<link xref="nautilus-connect">browse files on other computers</link> over
37
a local area network or the internet. If you often browse files over a local
38
area network, and the network has high bandwidth, you may want to set the
39
preview option to <gui>Always</gui>.</p>
40
<p>In addition, you can use the <gui>Only for files smaller than</gui>
41
setting to limit the size of files previewed.</p>
