Description
Currently, thumbnails are generated even for remote files, without file size limit; that would be consuming bandwidth and in fact causing unwanted exceptions from glide.
Gnome Nautilus and Cinnamon Nemo both has option to specify remote file size that is good to generate thumbnails. Amaze should have this too - above the file size limit, only returns the default icon of file type instead of generating its thumbnail.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Amaze generates thumbnails for remote files and where Glide retrieves them. Identify the existing thumbnail preferences and remote-file handling; done means a configurable size limit prevents oversized remote retrievals and shows the file-type default icon instead.
