Selectively disabling file preview in specific folders



Hello,

I was wondering if it would be possible to have Nautilus selectively stop creating file previews of all files in specific folders.
Currently, the only difference Nautilus makes is local and remote folders. This offers an opportunity to disable file previews for remote folders only. The problem is that sometimes, also local folders are not that fast and user might want to disable preview in these folders, while it is still enabled for the rest of local folders. Also, user can nfs-mount, smb-mount, or "something"-mount remote folders to local folders using different utilities, bypassing Nautilus. In such situations, Nautilus is not able to distinguish which folder is in fact local and which is remote.
It would be nice to have an option to select specific folders, e.g. in a /mnt or /media directory, which would be excluded from creating file previews in order to save time and network bandwidth.
Or is there any workaround already available?

Thank you.
