Title:
gimp makes ~/.thumbnails/ in spite of XDG location already existing
Status in The Gimp:
Fix Released
Status in gimp package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
john@joran ~ ❯ gimp --version
GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.8.14
When writing a file, gimp will create a directory (~/.thumbnails) to
write thumbnails into despite XDG locations being defined
(XDG_CACHE_HOME="/home/john/settings/cache"), and the location
existing and containing files already:
john@joran ~ ❯ ls $XDG_CACHE_HOME/thumbnails
fail/ large/ normal/ gnome-exe-thumbnailer.cfg gnome-exe-thumbnailer.files
Can confirm that putting this into gimprc:
(thumbnail-size none)
disables the location being created, but then thumbnails are not generated either
From browsing their bugzilla,
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646644 this was filed and
meant to be fixed.
