<title>File manager preview</title>
-<p>
-</p>
+
+<p>The file manager creates thumbnails to preview image and video files,
+and can also preview text files and sound files. Previews can be slow for
+large files or over networks, so you can control when previews are made.
+In any file manager window, click <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui>
+<gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq> and select the <gui>Preview</gui> tab.</p>
+
+<p>By default, all previews are only done for local files on your computer
+or connected external drives. The file manager can
+<link xref="nautilus-connect">browse files on other computers</link> over
+a local area network or the internet. If you often browse files over a local
+area network, and the network has high bandwidth, you may want to set some
+or all of the preview options to <gui>Always</gui>.</p>

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

+ <item>
+ <title><gui>Sound Files</gui></title>
+ <p>You can <link xref="files-preview-music">preview music and other
+ sounds files</link> by hovering your mouse. You can turn this feature
+ on or off, or turn it on only for files on your computer and local
+ external drives.</p>

+ <title><gui>Folders</gui></title>
+ <p>If you show file sizes in <link xref="nautilus-list">list view columns</link>
+ or <link xref="nautilus-display#icon-captions">icon captions</link>, folders will
+ be shown with a count of how many files and folders they contain. Counting items
+ in a folder can be slow, especially for very large folders, or over a network.
+ You can turn this feature on or off, or turn it on only for files on your
+ computer and local external drives.</p>
