I also do not see thumbnails when I connect my Android phone to my PC,

gotten into the habit of just moving all files to my PC so I get

thumbnails, moving and deleting files as needed, and then moving the

remaining files back to the phone if necessary.

Can those of you folks who see the same "misbehavior" chip in by confirming here - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1960854
?

I poked around a bit and it looks like this behavior is intentional: 

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/issues/497#note_875764

Basically, a flag is added to MTP GVFS mounts to prevent nautilus from attempting to create thumbnails, due to slow performance of those types of mount points. 

There’s a link to an even older issue (that predated the move to gitlab) so it’s been that way for a while.
