I have an 6MB SVG image in my SVG folder and it took over half an hour to show the preview on my P800! It is even slow, if I browse some bigger PNGs. If you worry about not being up to date you can compare the timestamp in the thumbnail with the file date. And no, I don't think that thumbnails are garbage, as long as all programs use the same.
Well, 6Mb is not what I would call typical. Half an hour sounds like a lot. How long does it take to actually open that file?
AHA!!!!!
I have the solution!!!!
XMP thumbnail metadata!!!
If that 6MB file was generated with an Adobe tool, it's in there. If not, we can get Inkscape to stick one in for a one-time hit.
I was thinking this (the open dialog) was a very good place to use that metadata, as it seems like a lot of the reason for including it in the first place.
