I have finally ended up with binding both « thumbnails » folders through fstab adding those lines :
# .xcf thumbnails from gimp snap for anyone /home/user_1/.cache/thumbnails/ /home/user_1/snap/gimp/common/.cache/thumbnails/ none bind 0 0 /home/user_2/.cache/thumbnails/ /home/user_2/snap/gimp/common/.cache/thumbnails/ none bind 0 0 /home/user_3/.cache/thumbnails/ /home/user_3/snap/gimp/common/.cache/thumbnails/ none bind 0 0 This way, Gimp-snap actually writes its thumbnails there and then Nemo and Nautilus accordingly displays thumbnails for .xcf files. gThumb though still shows empty frames for .xcf files - but my main concern was the file explorer.

Status in gimp package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-xcf-thumbnailer package in Ubuntu: New Status in gthumb package in Ubuntu: New Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Status in nemo package in Ubuntu: New Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, On Ubuntu ( Budgie ) 20.04 when using Gimp as a snap, you’ll see thumbnails for .xcf files only « inside » Gimp and nowhere else ( Nemo, Nautilus, gThumb… ) I did a messy workaround for .xcf thumbnails to appear anywhere expected : I put all of my user’s thumbnails into ~/snap/gimp/common/.cache/thumbnails/ and now ~/.cache/thumbnails/ is a symlink targeting the first. You’d agree it’s absolutely a bad idea to store all of an user’s thumbnails into a particular subfolder of a particular snap. How tell my session to look for thumbnails not only in ~/.cache/thumbnails/ but also in any thumbnails folder inside ~/snap/ ?
