* Create an NFS mount to a directory holding thousands of images. Create another NFS mount with directories and subdirectories holding many files of any type.

* Open Nautilus

* Go to Edit -> Preferences. Click on the Preview tab

* Set Show Thumbnails to "Local Files Only" and "Count Number of Items" to "Local Files Only"

Then click on the NFS mounted directory in Nautilus.

You will not have any fun.

This bug has been sitting in the Nautilus bug tracker for over three years.

A fix would not be rocket science, just rewording what it says in the Preview tab would be a fix. Three years gone by and they can't even reword it. Which is fine, but it doesn't say much for the file manager and its inter-OS operability.
