I wonder - am I the only one who feels that Gnome default thumbnail size is way too small? See the bug report for the background, motivation and a comparison screenshot :)
P.S. The fix is simple - "dconf write /org/gnome/nautilus/icon-view/thumbnail-size 128; rm -r ~/.thumbnails/*" and then close and restart your nautilus file browser. ;)

Does gnome scale thumbnails? I always have icons in compact view as small as possible (150%) so i don't really see this being important for people like me?

Try switching to icon view and 'zooming in' - it will take the same small 64px icons and stretch them to 96px (150%) and 128px (200%). But it will also increase the text font size and spacing between icons too, so you get huge text, huge white spaces and same blurry thumbnails, just bigger.
Link | ReplyFor me compact mode is worse than icon mode - considering that the files that I look at in nautilus typically have long file names (video titles), where one column of 8 entries fits in a compact view, 4 column of two entries fit in icon view, but in icon vie I have huge 128px thumbnails, while in compact view I get to see the whole filename. To me the thumbnail for a video file is more useful than the last bits of the filename that I can see on mouseover anyway.
