Hi,
There are a few REALLY simple ways to circumvent this.
1) use imagemagick, because it can thumbnail everything... really....
pdf, images, movies.... Here is one for movies
[Thumbnailer Entry]
TryExec=convert
Exec=convert %i[0] -thumbnail %s %o
MimeType=application/mxf;application/ogg;application/ram;application/sdp;application/vnd.apple.mpegurl;application/vnd.ms-asf;application/vnd.ms-wpl;application/vnd.rn-realmedia;application/x-extension-m4a;application/x-extension-mp4;application/x-flash-video;application/x-matroska;application/x-netshow-channel;application/x-ogg;application/x-quicktimeplayer;application/x-shorten;image/vnd.rn-realpix;image/x-pict;misc/ultravox;text/x-google-video-pointer;video/3gp;video/3gpp;video/dv;video/divx;video/fli;video/flv;video/mp2t;video/mp4;video/mp4v-es;video/mpeg;video/msvideo;video/ogg;video/quicktime;video/vivo;video/vnd.divx;video/vnd.mpegurl;video/vnd.rn-realvideo;video/vnd.vivo;video/webm;video/x-anim;video/x-avi;video/x-flc;video/x-fli;video/x-flic;video/x-flv;video/x-m4v;video/x-matroska;video/x-mpeg;video/x-mpeg2;video/x-ms-asf;video/x-ms-asx;video/x-msvideo;video/x-ms-wm;video/x-ms-wmv;video/x-ms-wmx;video/x-ms-wvx;video/x-nsv;video/x-ogm+ogg;video/x-theora+ogg;video/x-totem-stream;audio/x-pn-realaudio;audio/3gpp;audio/ac3;audio/AMR;audio/AMR-WB;audio/basic;audio/flac;audio/midi;audio/mp2;audio/mp4;audio/mpeg;audio/ogg;audio/prs.sid;audio/vnd.rn-realaudio;audio/x-aiff;audio/x-ape;audio/x-flac;audio/x-gsm;audio/x-it;audio/x-m4a;audio/x-matroska;audio/x-mod;audio/x-mp3;audio/x-mpeg;audio/x-ms-asf;audio/x-ms-asx;audio/x-ms-wax;audio/x-ms-wma;audio/x-musepack;audio/x-pn-aiff;audio/x-pn-au;audio/x-pn-wav;audio/x-pn-windows-acm;audio/x-realaudio;audio/x-real-audio;audio/x-s3m;audio/x-sbc;audio/x-speex;audio/x-stm;audio/x-tta;audio/x-wav;audio/x-wavpack;audio/x-vorbis;audio/x-vorbis+ogg;audio/x-xm;application/x-flac;
save it as /usr/share/thumbnailers/imagemagick-video.thumbnailer
voila, fast, and easy
2) delete the totem-video-thumbnailer file from the same directory
no more pesky thumbnails.
Of course, you need (from a terminal... you can use these commands)
pkill pcmanfm
and then rerun
pcmanfm --desktop &disown
thumbnails are stored in
~/.thumbnails/{normal,large}
which (if it is unclear) means
~/.thumbnails/normal/
~/.thumbnails/large/
Hope this helps.

Would it be possible for Lubuntu to have 2-3 default configurations
users could choose from during install (or, initial boot)?
I like Lubuntu on a relatively robust laptop just because I don't need
a lot of eye candy. But, I always find myself wishing it was a little
more visually attractive. (I'm looking at Xubuntu right now. But,
something about X doesn't grab me. Lubuntu always strikes me as a
little more familiar to a Windows user.).
Anyway, to me I (personally) wouldn't want to see Lubuntu default to
less visual effects. I'd like more, actually. But, I agree that it's
targeted to low-resource machines and it would make more sense to do
what you ask.

Hi everyone,
I just discovered that pcmanfm makes thumbnails of every little
video snippet, and in my case it appears to consume a lot of power
on a laptop with an i3 CPU when i opened a folder with video clips
that i have made for a tutorial.
It worked and worked, and don't even need thumbnails there...
Now, in a way it sometimes can be cute to have thumbnails, but in
comparison of the resources it consumes to make the thumbnails it
didn't seem to make sense to have this in an environment that is
configured as 'light'.
Also I wonder where those thumbnails are stored and how this is
going to affect this laptop's performance in the log run.
In short: In my opinion it would make sense to have this feature
turned off by default.
