Public bug reported:

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/ ?
