What if it's a JPEG? You can't tell if evince rendered the thumbnail or 
eog/nautilus did. It was never a problem because no other programs 
rendered thumbnails until recently (gimp being the notable exception).

What if it's the planned PPT? I want that opening with OpenOffice and I 
want to know it's not a PDF.

Yes, I know there are filename extensions, but it seems Nautilus doesn't 
require them, and I do occasionally get a file without one.

Anyway, my point is that browsing through a folder full of PNGs, SVGs, 
and PDFs, they don't stand out like they used to. it takes more time to 
find them.
