Hi Ryan,
I checked your complaints with GIMP 2.8 with the following results:
1. Raise the file size limit for autogeneration of thumbnails.
Many of my JPEGs are just slightly over 3 MB or whatever the small
current limit is. Many of my RAW NEF files are just /under/ 10 MB, at
a resolution of 10.2 Megapixels. Many dSLR's exceed my camera's
resolution, so my recommended upper limit is 20 MB, but doing a
progressive scan (priority queue) would work best. Start out with
anything under 5 MB, then 10, then 20 MB, so it is a rough priority
queue, instead of a fine-grain one.
There is a solution for you in the preferences dialog. Goto
Edit/Preferences/Environment pane. In the middle of the right side you
will find the option 'Maximum filesizes for thumbnailing'. That's your
friend.
2. Allow users to multiselect files and explicitly batch-generate
thumbnails (just clicking on the thumbnail placeholder with multiple
images selected should initiate the process).
Have you already tried this? I just did: multiselected files in the list
of the 'open file' dialog, clicked on 'Click to create preview' in the
right pane - and GIMP just created thumbnails for the selected files.
Cool, isn't it? ;-)

I wouldn't say that. On Windows 7 the native 'open file' dialog contains
different views: list, details, symbols in various sizes, tiles. Symbols
and tiles contain a preview of every file. IIRC it was similar with
Windows XP. I think, that's what the OP wants.
IMHO using native dialogs has one mantrap: they need to be checked first
whether they can fulfill all requirements of the application, like a
thumbnail preview. Not every platform may offer all necessary
possibilities and keeping track of this could be a hard work. I like the
way of the Mac version: there's a 'Show in Finder' menu item in the file
dialog, which will start the platforms file manager.
Best regards,
grafxuser
