Package: gthumb Version: 3:2.6.6-1 Severity: normal For some reason, gthumb stopped displaying thumbnails for any of the files in the directory where I hold pictures (actually, for any directory). I first suspected a bug in the ~/.thumbnails/ directory and renamed it to have it be recreated. To my surprise, after renaming the directory and launching gthumb, the .thumbnails directory is never created again!
I then straced gthumb I don't see any call to '.thumbnails' being made at all... Reviewing the source code I see that it references '/apps/gthumb/browser/show_thumbnails' (a GNOME registry option) and I fired up the gconf-editor program (which I have not used before) and verify that it is, indeed, set to False. However I have *ever* changed that and (as far as I can see) that option cannot be setup in Gthumb, so I can only assume that the preference changed on upgrade. After enabling it to True thumbnails start working again. Why isn't there an option (in Preferences, on the GUI) to enable or disable this behaviour? Why has this behaviour changed on an upgrade?
