In Edit -> Find Duplicates, you can enter a directory, from where searching should start. If you call the function from a dir where no dups are contained, and change it in the dialog to a parent dir where dups are contained, nothing is found. If you call the Find Duplicates function directly from the parent directory, duplicates are found.

It seems, that gthumb does not use the directory from the dialog, but always uses the directory from where the function was called.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. gThumb developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of gThumb you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of gThumb.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of gThumb.
