Thank for confirming that thumbnails are not generated if missing, that is basically what this entire bug is about. I would suggest that thumbnail creation is triggered right where the missing thumbnail error is generated, on demand. Anything at startup should be avoided to prevent a slow startup.
Yes, as I wrote the log is from my current .shotwell folder since that is where the problem occured. Running fresh as you suggested worked without any problem/thumbnails got created. Removing a thumbnail folder is usually considered a safe action. When I first asked about this issue on askubuntu, http://askubuntu.com/questions/15020/thumbnails-in-shotwell-are-all-gray that is exactly the advice I got. -- No thumbnails are generated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682118 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
