There is a following convention: tar/zip/rar archive renamed to cbt/cbr/cbz is recognized by some application as a comic book file, so file managers can open it using corresponding viewers, which treat sequence of images inside as pages of a book. And nautilus used to recognize cbt files, making thumbnails from the first image in such renamed archive back in karmic. It still recognizes such file as "Comic Book Archive" after upgrade to lucid but fails to thumbnail it now. It tries to do that though, showing icon with the clock for a moment, but almost instantly fails, printing "Error loading document: File type Tar archive (application/x-tar) is not supported" to the console. When I am trying to open cbt file in evince (which is responsible for making document thumbs in gnome afaik) it displays exactly the same error message. Cbt files itself are completely valid and can be opened easily with Comix for example. Thumbs created in karmic are still displaying fine as well.
Sorry for my clumsy english. :)
