Hi

Can anyone tell mne how to get the icons to give a preview of video files in nautilus, similar to how they preview images? All I can get it to do is show a "film roll" icon...

Cheers
Steve

Did you check the Nautilus settings already? Just to make sure it's not because of the file size limit..if I remember right, Nautilus only shows the preview for "files less than X megs" (usually 3M?).

& by default it usually shows the Previews
