Hi,

Since some time now, gnome uses any picture inside a folder as the folder's icon. I'd like to go back to the old behavior where folder showed the folder icon. Is there any way of telling that to gnome? I don't want to go folder by folder manually setting the folder icon as the folder's icon.

Thanks.

Maybe it can be disabled via gnome-tweak-tool ? Or maybe you can change it in nautilus settings ?

Thanks. I had already tried both but none of them provides this option.

Nautilus preferences has something that almost works: the ability to choose whether to show thumbnails only for local files, for every file (even remote), or no file at all. But I'm looking for a fourth option (which doesn't exist in the preferences but could exist by tweaking something) to show thumbnails for all local files but not for folders.

Well, I've not found something how to do that. You can try poking at the dconf settings with dconf-editor to see if you find some key to disable thumbnails for directories.
Check e.g. for the keys below /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/inode@directory/

That's what I started to do but using gconf-editor which keeps crashing all the time. I didn't know dconf-editor. Hopefully it will, at least, not crash, which will really simplify my task..

Thanks.
