[Bug 1412442] Re: Images are black when opened in gallery

 

This is caused by a recent change in the thumbnailer, which fails now to return large preview images.
https://code.launchpad.net/~jpakkane/thumbnailer/memfixes/+merge/245550

The previous code has a code path for generating full resolution
thumbnails, but due to a bug (that was corrected in the branch above)
that code path was never hit.

The branch above makes that code path accessible again, but it triggers
another bug: the images are actually returned by the thumbnailer image
provider not into the requested size but in the full resolution, which
the GPU can not handle, so they appear black.

This patch will fix the issue by providing proper scaling:
