Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
When I open a folder with images (around 20 wallpaper sizes), and
change the zoom level to 200%. It resizes the thumbnail image, so
obviously it becomes blurry. Note this process is completed quickly.
Then it seems to create a new thumbnail from the original image with the
larger thumbnail dimensions, providing sharper and aesthetically
pleasing thumbnails. This process is slow but understandable.
If I close Nautilus and open the same folder (it remembers the zoom
level), it's using the smaller thumbnails, than the larger sharper ones
it created earlier. Then it goes around re-creating the larger
thumbnails. Slows the systems down in the process.
This it deters you from setting the zoom level up in a folder, it isn't
caching/saving thumbnails at a higher zoom.
This also occurs if you navigate back and forth to the folder.
This only affects the Hardy Alphas.
I tried this on Gutsy, it doesn't have a problem as it never tries to
get a better thumbnail when you increase the zoom level.
When you are testing make sure the images are of wallpaper sizes then
you can really see Nautilus upgrading the original thumbnail.
** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)

Thumbnails for 200% zoom are regenerated each time a folder is opened.
