Public bug reported: john@joran ~ ❯ gimp --version GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.8.14
When writing a file, gimp will create a directory (~/.thumbnails) to write thumbnails into despite XDG locations being defined (XDG_CACHE_HOME="/home/john/settings/cache"), and the location existing and containing files already: john@joran ~ ❯ ls $XDG_CACHE_HOME/thumbnails fail/ large/ normal/ gnome-exe-thumbnailer.cfg gnome-exe-thumbnailer.files Can confirm that putting this into gimprc: (thumbnail-size none) disables the location being created, but then thumbnails are not generated either >From browsing their bugzilla, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646644 this was filed and meant to be fixed. ** Affects: gimp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1542649 Title: gimp makes ~/.thumbnails/ in spite of XDG location already existing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1542649/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
