Moved this to nautilus as the problem is due to how emblems, and plaint text previews, are rendered. As noted in comment #4, the issue is with any emblem on a file with live text preview. This isn't an issue with PDF files, as they are rendered to thumbnail images, which then simply have the emblem composited on top. Possible solutions are to:
1) Render thumbnail PNGs of text files, instead of rendering live previews (which are basically useless anyway). 2) Disable live text preview (as it's basically useless if you aren't using extremely large icon sizes). 3) Fix nautilus to render live preview on top of composited icon with emblems (which may work already and simply require changes in the icon theme, which may look quite bad when live preview isn't used). I would vote for number 2 myself. If Mark thinks the emblems used are just not good images, then a separate bug should be opened against the icon theme (humanity-icon-theme) for that specific issue, as Ubuntu One itself does not install any emblem images. ** Project changed: ubuntuone-client => nautilus (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899793 Title: Ubuntu One sync emblem ruins text icons Status in Ayatana Design: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Icons of a text file show a few words in the first line of the file, very useful to locate a text file in a quick look. Same happens with pdf files, the icon is a small miniature of the first page. However if text files are syncronized with ubuntu one the icon is blank (with a green mark in the right-lower corner of the icon), no traces of the text. That doesn't happen with pdf files, icons of the sync files are OK (miniature of the page and green mark) ----------------------------- Los iconos de un archivo de texto muestran unas pocas letras de las primeras líneas del archivo, algo muy útil para localizar rápidamente archivos. Algo parecido pasa con los pdf, que muestran una miniatura de la primera página. Sin embargo si los archivos de texto están compartidos mediante ubuntu one el icono queda completamente blabnco con la señal verde abajo a la izquierda, ni rastro del texto del interior del archivo. Esto no ocurre con los pdf, que el icono sigue teniendo la miniatura y encima la marca verde.
