Hi; I filled a bug (with a patch) to use custom thumbnails for folders:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/elisa/+bug/293406

I haven't got many responses, so I hope a picture (or two) are better
than a thousand words; this is how a directory with only folders looks
right now in Elisa:

http://xochitl.matem.unam.mx/~canek/elisa-folders-without-patch.png

This is how it looks with my patch (and some .folder.jpg or
.folder.png files in each directory):

http://xochitl.matem.unam.mx/~canek/elisa-folders-with-patch.png

I hope the difference is pretty obvious ;)

The patch is trivial (11 lines), it affects only one file
(elisa/plugins/poblesec/filesystem.py), it's user configurable (the
user can change the name from .folder.jpg or .folder.png to whatever
he or she wants), and if the user doesn't do anything, Elisa works
exactly as if it didn't had the patch.

The patch is attached to the bug report, if anyone wants to try it.
