--- Comment #53 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
If $HOME Is not encrypted, then generating thumbnails for vault files but not
caching them anywhere would be better than what we currently have, since at
least we would see thumbnails again. But caching them *inside* the vault would
be even better, since then we wouldn't have to waste resources endlessly
regenerating thumbnails all the time.

I still think this is what we should do even if $HOME is encrypted. Because
even if it is, there is still a  data leak of cached content from one encrypted
location to a location outside of it. Yes, $HOME being encrypted protects
against thieves who steal your laptop, but it does not protect against other
local users with physical access (e.g. when you step away to use the bathroom,
or whatever), which is currently a thing you can use Vaults to protect against.
But if cached thumbnails are leaked outside of the vault, that protection is
diminished.
