Bug Description

In 14.04, a text file icon would permit a modest preview of the beginning of the first few lines.

This feature is a tremendous productivity boost.

16.04 no longer supports this feature. Please bring it back.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

@peterzay It is useless to file a bug to the upstream. They removed that feature and abandoned development for nautilus 3.14 long ago. You better try file a for newer nautilus (>=3.20).
