[Shotwell] remake the thumbs from the files possible?

[Lucas Beeler]

Hi Siegfried,

What version of Shotwell are you running? If you're running Shotwell 0.14.0
or later, you can simply delete your ~/.cache/shotwell directory while
Shotwell isn't running and then restart Shotwell. Thumbnails will then be
regenerated. Depending on how many photos you have, it might take a while.
Note that removing the thumbnail cache directory will have no effect on
your tags, events, or anything else. Shotwell 0.14.0 and later were
designed under the assumption that because it's a cache directory, its
contents could disappear at any time.

Cheers,
Lucas
