Package: nautilus Version: 2.30.1-3 Severity: wishlist Various backup utilities can automatically exclude cache directories if tagged via the "Cache Directory Tagging" standard (http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/). Doing so requires creating a file CACHEDIR.TAG in the cache directory (~/.thumbnails), containing the contents "Signature: 8a477f597d28d172789f06886806bc55". Please consider implementing this standard by creating this file, so that backup software can automatically exclude the thumbnail cache.
I don't fully know which component of nautilus generates these thumbnails, or if that component lives in some package other than the main nautilus package. Please feel free to reassign if I've gotten it wrong.
