** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160727 Title: ~/.thumbnails should be placed in ~/.cache Status in Nautilus: Invalid Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus According to http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html (FreeDesktop base directory specification): "$XDG_CACHE_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific non-essential data files should be stored. If $XDG_CACHE_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.cache should be used." To make things like backups easier, nautilus' gnome-video-thumbnailer should place its thumbnails somewhere in ~/.cache. This would also ease the development of automatic cleanup tools (see related blueprints).
