Description john s 2003-11-29 17:22:01 UTC 
Using gthumb in openbox3, program launches successfully.  However, in the file browser, no 
images are listed, no thumbnails are shown, and (of course) no images are displayed.  The 3 
panes are enabled and visible.  Everything else seems to work properly, but gthumb doesn't 
recognize any image files.

I have gone through all the options in gthumb itself.  I have also used gconf-editor to ensure that 
everything is enabled.

Have you got shared-mime-info (from freedesktop.org) installed?
Comment 2 Chuck R. Bell 2004-10-20 16:07:53 UTC 
I am having the same problem with gthumb-2.6.0, and yes, shared-mime-info is
installed. It just says 'No image' no matter what directory I am in or what kind
of image is present.

Ok, I got Gthumb to work by using the following command:

update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

Hope this helps someone else.

Comment 4 Michael Chudobiak 2006-09-23 12:42:11 UTC 
This seems to have been due to an outdated mime database on the user's computer (rather than a gthumb bug), so I'm closing the bug.
