Thunar sees another file (icon preview) instead of another !!!

#1 Post by fanisatt »

Steps to reproduce :
Open thunar (mode : preview files as icons mode)
Go into a folder with photos.
Choose sorting by date !!
Right click on a photo and open the photo with gimp.
Keep the folder opened !!!!
Do some changes you wish to the photo inside Gimp (colors or something...) and then replace the old photo and exit Gimp.
Now you can see the folder with the photos again.
If you try left click on some photos to open them with the default viewer you will see (in most cases) that thunar sees another file instead of the one you think....

Yep it's the way Xfce caches thumbnails. Renaming the file , waiting a minute, then renaming back tends to work. Or open in an app that generates thumbnails like mirage (not sure numacs does this...haven't tried).

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

@ dolphin_oracle
Thanks for your response !
I hope that it will be fixed soon because it is so wrong now.
It is not a small detail....it is a serious matter for an official file manager of a modern OS ... to my opinion.
Yesterday I saw the bug for first time and I thought it was my fault....I could not believe to my eyes !!!
Best regards !

We have no control over Xfce apps, of course. But there are other file managers available through the Package Manager.
Production: 5.10, MX-23 Xfce, AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core, GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2, 16 GB, SSD 120 GB, Data 1TB
Personal: Lenovo X1 Carbon with MX-23 Fluxbox and Windows 10
Other: Raspberry Pi 5 with MX-23 Xfce Raspberry Pi Respin

it will eventually fix itself. any running of the tumblerd thumbnailer daemon will update it. I've run into several times over the years while editing graphics files.
