GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 414711
thumbnail explosion if opening ~/.thumbnails/large
Last modified: 2007-03-21 13:53:16 UTC
gthumb doesn't check whether the opened directory is the thumbnail directory, and thus if you open ~/.thumbnail/large, new thumbnails will be created for existing thumbnails, and again for the new thumbnails, and so on. This can waste lots of disk space.
This problem has been fixed in the development version (rev 1504). The fix will be available in the next major software release (2.10.1). Thank you for your bug report! - Mike
