This bug was fixed in the new upstream release of totem-plugin-arte. It will be in Ubuntu 12.10.
Now, all outdated thumbnails are deleted each time totem starts. If this fix is important for you (or if you just want to test), there are updated packages for Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~malizor/+archive/ppa ** Changed in: totem-plugin-arte (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932364 Title: Cache flood on every launch of totem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem-plugin-arte/+bug/932364/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
