This doesn't happen because of bug 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669818

With a file size of 1.3GiB reported for every file, you won't get 
thumbnails automatically because this is way over the configured limit 
for thumbnails.

You can just paste a path to this dialog (Ctrl+v)

The dialog starts in the "Recently used" bookmark. That's a special 
folder, so I guess this is why there are no path buttons to navigate.
