Re: PATCH: Thumbnail Settings

["Manuel Amador (Rudd-O)" <amadorm usm edu ec>]

What if the option to limit thumbnailing were changed from size to time 
taken to thumbnail things?  It would work like this: the thumbnailing 
algorithm could sort files based on size, and begin thumbnailing the 
smaller ones first, then, as the bigger ones begin to be thumbnailed, if 
any (three|five|ten) things take more than say 5 seconds each to be 
thumbnailed, automatically stop thumbnailing stuff.  This could also be 
split for each media type (audio,video,image).
