As removable media can be much slower than hard disks, especially when it
concerns access time, it is sometimes annoying to have thumbnails enabled.
However, you still want thumbnails on the hard disk. It would be nice to be
able to configure, just like for remote mounts, whether to enable thumbnailing
for removable media.

As some will want thumbnails on removable media and not on remote mounts, and
others will want the opposite, it would be even better to have separate
configuration parameters for both kinds of mounts. I'm not sure how to do it
without cluttering the UI of the preferences box. Maybe some parameters could
be merged.
