Only because of the technical implementation detail of main memory, and how the
file is cached there, even though its presence in permanent storage is gone.
Most users don't and shouldn't need to understand this, and are confused by why
something that's been deleted would be still available for viewing.
If we step back a bit, your real goal is to be able to view picture attachments
from Trojita. Right now you can't do that, because of the way Trojita stores
them in /tmp and then immediately deletes them (?) and moves them elsewhere,
presumably. You are proposing to change Gwenview to accomodate Trojita's odd
behavior. I propose the opposite: that Trojita stop doing this weird
redirection and timer-based deletion of files in /tmp. /tmp exists for
precisely the reason they are using it: to hold temporary files. No need to
perform manual cleaning. The system takes care of that.
Please work with the Trojita devs to change the their email client to behave in
a more standard manner with regards to /tmp usage.
