It does not look like this this bug was fixed. I'm still seeing multiple requests for a single image.
Go to events page in the gallery app and tap on a photo. Displaying that single photo sends multiple requests to the thumbnailer: thumbnailer-service: [01:01:02.355] "thumbnail: /home/phablet/Videos/com.ubuntu.camera/video20150720_010015553.mp4 (0,0): 0.009003 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)" thumbnailer-service: [01:01:02.378] "thumbnail: /home/phablet/Videos/com.ubuntu.camera/video20150720_010015553.mp4 (1060,1060): 0.023805 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)" thumbnailer-service: [01:01:02.383] "thumbnail: /home/phablet/Videos/com.ubuntu.camera/video20150720_010015553.mp4 (1222,1060): 0.010407 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)" thumbnailer-service: [01:01:02.400] "thumbnail: /home/phablet/Videos/com.ubuntu.camera/video20150720_010015553.mp4 (1222,1222): 0.025453 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)" thumbnailer-service: [01:01:02.454] "thumbnail: /home/phablet/Videos/com.ubuntu.camera/video20150720_010004143.mp4 (1222,1222): 0.004059 sec (FULL-SIZE HIT)" Note that I'm seeing this every time I tap on a *photo*. However, the thumbnail requests are for one of the videos I took. It looks like the gallery app is asking for thumbnails for *video* files every time I tap on a *photo*. Also, the request for (0,0) is problematic. It means "Give me the image at full size" (bounded to a 1920 box). A full-size image is most definitely *not* a thumbnail. The gallery app shouldn't be asking for "thumbnails" at full size. All this does is waste disk space and make the cache less effective. Instead, for the full-size image, the gallery app should be reading the image file directly, I would think? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gallery-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1460993 Title: Multiple thumbnail requests for a single image Status in Canonical System Image: Fix Released Status in gallery-app: In Progress Status in gallery-app package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I just took two short videos and four photos on the phone. When I look at the events page in the gallery app, I see thumbnails for the these just fine. I'm also tracing the requests that are made to the thumbnailer. When I tap on one of the photos, I see the following requests fired at the thumbnailer all at once (within one or two tenths of a second): Create thumbnail for "/home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera/image20150602_073643136.jpg" at size QSize(216, 216) Create thumbnail for "/home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera/image20150602_073643136.jpg" at size QSize(216, -1) Create thumbnail for "/home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera/image20150602_073643136.jpg" at size QSize(231, 0) Create thumbnail for "/home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera/image20150602_073643136.jpg" at size QSize(256, 0) Create thumbnail for "/home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera/image20150602_073643136.jpg" at size QSize(291, 0) Create thumbnail for "/home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera/image20150602_073643136.jpg" at size QSize(341, 0) Create thumbnail for "/home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera/image20150602_073643136.jpg" at size QSize(402, 0) Create thumbnail for "/home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera/image20150602_073643136.jpg" at size QSize(477, 0) Create thumbnail for "/home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera/image20150602_073643136.jpg" at size QSize(558, 0) Create thumbnail for "/home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera/image20150602_073643136.jpg" at size QSize(657, 0) Create thumbnail for "/home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera/image20150602_073643136.jpg" at size QSize(768, 0) Create thumbnail for "/home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera/image20150602_073643136.jpg" at size QSize(768, 1222) This is horribly wasteful because the app retrieves the same image a dozen times. But, worse, we will cache thumbnailer in twelve different sizes for that same single image because we are being asked for a different size each time. Also note that requests with width or height < 0 are interpreted to mean "as large as possible". The second request above consequently causes the image to be cached in its full size (unless it's larger than 1920, in which case we limit it to 1920x1920 bounding box). Something seems definitely wrong here. The multiple requests are wasteful, and the different sizes mean that the cache is far less effective than it could be.
