            Bug ID: 12111
           Summary: Thunar becomes unusable on ptp/mtp devices when
                    thumbnails enabled
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.6.10
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: core

With thumbnails enabled, thunar becomes unbearable slow on ptp (via ghoto2://
and local thumbs) and mtp (via mtp:// and thumbs on all files) devices. I
suspect, that each time the view changes, eg. by scrolling, a new retrieval of
(possibly) all thumbs is triggered. Until this is completed the ui stays
frozen.

On local folders or network folders via sftp:// this works differently in two
ways:
(1) Thumbs are fetched only for files currently visible in thunar,
(2) For thumbs already retrieved the cache is used.

Given the lower io speeds on ptp/mtp devices this approach should be adapted
for ptp/mtp devices as well (if possible).
