I am contemplating reverting the commit, although I have been leaning toward disabling thumbnails entirely, as I think previewing files like `README` is more valuable than having thumbnails for files like `main.cc`.

Personally, I never think about using Quick Look for reading if it’s going to take more than 4 seconds. I’d rather see the correct icon if I happen to Quick Look a DMG than have the option to occasionally see the contents of an extension less file.

Anyone finding value in the (proper) thumbnails?

Not for text files, no. In fact, Quicksilver lets you specify what uses Quick Look to generate icons and I’ve always purposely excluded text, code, Pages/Word, etc.

For the curious:

defaults write com.blacktree.Quicksilver QSFilePreviewTypes -array public.image public.movie public.audio com.adobe.pdf public.x509-certificate net.daringfireball.markdown com.apple.ical.ics
