Bug Description
After I connect my phone with MTP protocol pantheon-files fails to create thumbnails for files (pdf, jpg, png etc.) and when I try to open one of the files (lets say pdf) it gives me "Cannot open files with this protocol (mtp)" error.
Reproduce:
- Connect your android phone and chose MTP form your phone,
- open pantheon-files and mount your phone.
- Browse your files and try to open one file from your phone directory.
Edit:
OS: Loki 4.0
Phone: Android 6.0.1

libmtp-common 1.1.10-2ubuntu1 all

This is the expected behaviour at present because of limitations in the gvfs-mtp backend, but it does need to be fixed if possible.
