Don't assume that (path_is_file == FALSE) is a directory. (559 bytes, patch)

Description Michael Chudobiak 2007-04-21 21:39:19 UTC 
I've modified gThumb to use "dcraw -e" to extract embedded thumbnails from RAW files. (http://cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/). This requires svn rev 1607 or later.

If the RAW file is called DSC_0048.NEF, the extracted thumbnail will be in the same directory and be named DSC_0048.thumb.jpg.

gThumb reads the extract thumbnail (DSC_0048.thumb.jpg) into a pixbuf, then deletes the DSC_0048.thumb.jpg file.

However, gThumb's file-change monitor becomes very confused, and it shows a FOLDER called "DSC_0048.thumb.jpg" (not a file). The folder is shown until you hit Ctrl+R. I will attach a screenshot showing what I mean, and a link to a zip archive of RAW files that I used.

Can someone take a look at this? This is probably directly related to bugs like bug 425094.

The sample RAW files will be available in a few minutes at http://www.avtechpulse.com/downloads/RAW.zip.

Note - run

rm -rf ~/.thumbnails/; rm -rf ~/.gnome2/gthumb/remote_cache/;

before trying to reproduce these effects.

Don't assume that (path_is_file == FALSE) is a directory.

This is not dcraw specific.
It happens when the same file is quickly created and deleted.
path_is_file returns false for a non existent file.

Thank you Manuel!
