Package: gthumb
Version: 3:2.6.3-1
Severity: normal

My Father's "Vivitar" camera is a usb camera that can be mounted as a
usb mass storage device, with a apparently fairly standard dcim/
subsirectory that contains jpegs of the pictures. All the pics on it
seem to always have the same date, sometime in 2003, even if I just took
the pictures.

I tried to set up gthumb so my Dad could use it to brows the pictures on
his camera, and drag them off to nautiuls to copy them off. I made it
automatically start up with the camera's photo directory as the default
start directory.

This worked pretty well, although as noted elsewhere in this BTS,
deleting photos really didn't delete them, since the trash is on a
different volume.

But it broke badly once we deleted all the photos using the camera and
took some more, because these new pictures had exactly the same
filenames and dates as the first set of pics we took. So gthumb's cached
icons for the pictures were all wrong and didn't match the actual
pictures anywhere.

I could not find a way to turn this cachine off, or even a way to get it
to regenerate the thumbnails, except for modifying a picture.

I think it's a shame that this makes gthumb unsuitable for this kind of
usage, as otherwise it worked pretty well.
