Ubuntu 14.04 image preview never loads

Question

After updating to 14.04 my image preview never shows up

preview

Is this common to update? Maybe it is related to my image viewer? Can I replace the default one or if its nautilus fault, what replacement would you suggest?

Try reconfiguring libthumbnailer0: sudo dpkg-reconfigure libthumbnailer0 — Cornelius, Apr 20 '14 at 20:23
Should I restart after reconfiguring? Because without it it didnt do anything — CBeTJlu4ok, Apr 20 '14 at 20:26

I usually face this when my computer is up for days and i don't clean my thumbnails folder.

what i do is i run this command to delete old previews and force generating new ones.

rm ~/.cache/thumbnails/ -R

since i work with alot of images i added a line in my crontab to do so every 5 mins.

crontab -e

i add

*/5 * * * * rm ~/.cache/thumbnails/ -R
