Review request for kdelibs. Description ------- The freedesktop spec[0] has changed the default location of the thumbnail cache directory. Now thumbnails are saved in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/thumbnails instead of ~/.thumbnails/ GNOME has already made this change. Some applications[1] and documentation[2] (maybe thumbnailers) will have to be changed to adapt to this new directory. If this patch is accepted I'll make the needed changes. For frameworks we can use QStandardPaths::CacheLocation, I'll post a separate review for that. All thumbnails will have to be regenerated. We could symlink the directory? Is fromLocal8Bit correct or is UTF8 needed now?
