Yes, it still exists. The test is easy: $ mkdir /tmp/some_new_dir $ sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=1M ThumbnailTest /tmp/some_new_dir
You can see what you've just done by using df. It will probably the last line of output. $ df -h Open up a folder with a large file, likely a movie or image. Note the thumbnail. Now make a symlink to the large file in the temporary mount and open the folder: $ ln -s /path/to/large/file /tmp/some_new_dir $ gnome-open /tmp/some_new_dir Note the couple second delay while the thumbnail gets regenerated despite the fact that it's the /same file/ (as evidenced by the symlink). Furthermore, for videos, the thumbnail likely won't have the same image as the original, again, /despite being the same file/. Finally, when you're done testing, you can simply umount the new temp folder to get rid of it: $ sudo umount /tmp/some_new_dir $ rmdir /tmp/some_new_dir -- thumbnailer unnecessarily recreates thumbnails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370621 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
