Why doesn't Nemo preview thumbnails?
I have a problem with thumbnails on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit system with Cinnamon 2.0.14 DE and Nemo 2.08.
I have tried removing the ~/.thumbnails directory but it is not working for me. This is very weird because when I open an image in Eye of GNOME, Nemo is creating thumbnails but other images doesn't have preview thumbnails as one can see in my screenshots below. I have changed the preview settings as show miniatures always.

Nemo makes previews only for files less than one MB by default. You can change this from its preferences:

I know this is an old question, but do you know how to set the size as a custom value? I'm looking for thumbs on files smaller than 25MB, any ideas?

The solution below works for 32 and 64 bit systems (tested on cinnamon 17):
In your home directory remove the .thumbnails subdirectory:
rm ~/.thumbnails
Set a new link for the cache folder:
cd ~
ln -s .cache/thumbnails .thumbnails

To fully flush everything out consistantly, I ended up having to use a small script to clear out all the cached files and reset the symbolic link to the cache folder. This worked for both nemo and nautalus. I made sure to shut down the file manager at the end of the script too. Then when I next opened the folder, all the thumbnails reloaded. Be sure the file size for thumbnails is set high enough. I have a couple MP3 files over 10meg so I have my preview level set to 100meg.
#!/bin/bash
find ~/.cache/thumbnails/ -type f -exec rm {} ;
rm -rf ~/.thumbnails
ln -s ~/.cache/thumbnails ~/.thumbnails
killall nautilus # in case you are using nautilus
killall nemo # in case you are using nemo
