I have several frequently-updated folders that contain thousands of high resolution JPGs. The first time I browse into any of them, it takes a long time for Nautilus to generate all the thumbnails.

How can I automatically generate and cache them ahead of time during the night?

  • You might just open the folders (perhaps cd some_toplevel_folder ; find . -type d -exec nautilus {} \;) before you drop off for the night. – zpletan Mar 20 '12 at 14:09
  • To the person responsible for the anonymous downvote: It's not obvious to me what I did wrong here. Care to explain? – ændrük Apr 14 '12 at 19:04

    This solution should work for images as well: http://askubuntu.com/questions/199110/how-can-i-instruct-nautilus-to-pre-generate-thumbnails – Glutanimate Mar 10 '13 at 21:52

I found a solution for it in the Ubuntu Forums. I have not tested it, will do so later on. Give it a go, if its broken maybe we can fix it.
