Title:
  Blender DELETES all data on photoshop files upon viewing folder,
  making it 0kb

Status in blender package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I posted this on the main ubuntu bug tracker but I have an impression
  they will tell me it's ubuntu mate's problem... so here is a copy of
  the bug at
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blender/+bug/1822196

  This was posted on Blender bug https://developer.blender.org/T63045
  It was determined that it doesn't happen with the official downloadable release, only with the one installed through the Ubuntu. Here is the report as filed:

  System Information
  Operating system: Ubuntu mate, both 18.10 and 18.04.2 64 bits, Ryzen 7 2700x
  Graphics card: Radeon fury nano

  Blender Version: 2.79.b+dfsg0-1 from distro

  Short description of error
  When I simply access a folder that contains a photoshop file in thumbnail mode, as well as trying to open the file for viewing or using it as a texture, Blender turn the file in a ZERO kb file, essentially deleting it. Luckily I haven't been keeping my original file on the working folder but at one point this will be catastrophic and I'll lose an original file.

  Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
  Simply open Blender, go to file browser, change it to thumbnails, and access a folder on systems like mine that contains a photoshop file. This doesn't seem to happen on windows. All photoshop files on that folder will be zeroed out and it's unrecoverable, nor there is any message.

  I have tested this on many photoshop files (not intentionally, I
  always just forget that there's this huge bug and to make sure any
  folder I'm viewing doesn't have a photoshop file). All of them became
  zero kb and I had to find the source to recover.

  I'm not sure why I haven't seen people complaining about it but this
  is pretty major.
