Description Jeremy Bicha 2017-02-27 06:43:56 UTC 
Originally reported at https://launchpad.net/bugs/1665602

Ubuntu 17.04 Beta
gnome-desktop3 3.23.90-0ubuntu1 built against gdk-pixbuf 2.36.5-1

Test Case
---------
Copy or download some pictures (.jpg or .png) to a new folder.
Navigate to the folder with Nautilus. Be sure icon view is on.

What should happen: You should see thumbnails for the pictures.

More Info
---------
What happens: no thumbnails for the new pictures.
Existing thumbnails for older pictures still show up.

The bug happens with either Ubuntu's nautilus 3.20 or nautilus 3.23.90 from the GNOME3 Stating PPA.

I could not reproduce the bug when I downgraded gnome-desktop3 to 3.22.2-1ubuntu1.

Please check the thumbnailer file is correct for your compilation options, see bug 778451.

Thanks for the hint. I'm closing this bug.

Debian's gdk-pixbuf 2.36.5 did not install these two files (added in 2.36.1) which are needed by gnome-desktop 3.23.90:

/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer
/usr/share/thumbnailers/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer.thumbnailer
