That was not a good idea, now Shotwell doesn't generate any thumbnails at
all for my newly imported mp4's.
My log was spammed with these lines when restarting:
L 11597 2013-09-14 20:54:48 [WRN] VideoSupport.vala:254: Error creating
pixbuf: Unrecognized image file format
$ grep Unrecognized ~/.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log | wc -l
819
Why doesn't that error write out which filename is in question..?
But, since I know that my latest import doesn't have any thumbnails I know
it is at least these type of files:
