GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 337759
thumbnails generated for each link to a folder
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:15:31 UTC
Please describe the problem: Instead of re-using thumbnails previously created for the folder, Nautilus treats this folder as a new folder and regenerates all thumbnails. I'm not sure if this affects other behaviours. Steps to reproduce: 1. open a folder that contains many images, movies, etc. (thumbnailable content) 2. wait until nautilus has thumbnailed the content. 1. create a link to the folder. 2. access this new link in Nautilus Actual results: The thumbnails are regenerated (even though, this has already been done for this folder, just not this 'path'. Expected results: Nautilus should recognize that the thumbnails have already been created, and use those. Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
Yes, this still happens, confirming.
I can't reproduce with the provided steps. Opening the symlink will actually redirect to the target folder path. I can only reproduce if I explicitly type the symlink path into the location entry. I've tested this on nautilus nautilus 3.6.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
