I have set up a remote drive for storing my photos. I connect to the drive using "Connect to Server" in Nautilus. This works pretty well and even the preview images are loaded if I edit the Nautilus settings to show the preview always.
It just is pretty slow to get the previews so I thought if there is way to generate the preview image on the remote drive and make Nautilus to show that instead of downloading the whole image and then self generating the preview?
