[SOLVED]Nautilus not "zooming" video thumbnails

Question

Hi!
When i set Nautilus to more than 100% "zoom", the icons of video files get bigger but the thumbnails drawn on them stay the same size, so the video files look like a big white rectangle with a small (regular sized) thumbnail in the middle of it.
Setting Nautilus to less than 100% zoom has video thumbnauls scale down correctly. Inside the .thumbnails folders, the png's belonging to videos and other files look both ok and exactly the same way, but the ploblem only occurs with actual video files.
I noticed, that pictures in big folders first show the same way, shortly after the thumbnails are generated - but they are shown appropriately after a few seconds and video file icons stay that way permanently no matter what.
Any idea how to solve that? thx!

Answer 1

Found inside: abs/extra/libgnomeui
File: gnome-thumbnail.c
changed:
  size = 128;
  if (factory->priv->size == GNOME_THUMBNAIL_SIZE_LARGE)
    size = 256;
...to:
  size = 256;
  if (factory->priv->size == GNOME_THUMBNAIL_SIZE_LARGE)
    size = 256;
compiled, restarted nautilus: WORKING FINE NOW
But i don't think this is like it's supposed to be (and I've got no idea what else I changed by doubling that value). So, whatever that part I altered does - shouldn't there be something like...:
  size = 128;
  if (factory->priv->size == GNOME_THUMBNAIL_SIZE_LARGE)
    size = 256;
  if (factory->priv->size == GNOME_THUMBNAIL_SIZE_LARGEST)
    size = 512;
or something?
Well, I've got got big thumbnailed video icons again, so I'll leave all the sourcecode I don't understand alone for a while now. I'm not marking this thread as "solved" yet, as the method I used to get where I want is most likely very, very, very wrong.
(edit: jupp, still working after reboot. source messy, thumbnails big, me happy. )
