I know this is a bit far from the field, so to speak, but I've often found it annoying that if you move a directory the thumbnails are lost and have to be regenerated. Obviously there is nothing that can be done about this with a shared thumbnail directory.
An ideal solution would have to be something like a directory that "shadows" every file. This directory could hold a files thumbnails, as well as other related information useful to different applications. It would be a very flexible system and would totally solve the problem --and then some. But I expect this would have to be a pretty low-level file system thing to make sure the shadow directory is always present and always goes where the file goes. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
