Hello all, I managed to package shotwell 0.26.3 for PCLinuxOS. Now I installed the package on my current system and again I am running into the problem that thumbnails for event pictures are missing. These are the contents of thumbs360 folder after the transfer -------------- [gerrit@Olga ~]$ ls .cache/shotwell/thumbs/thumbs360/ video-0000000000000002.jpg video-0000000000000004.jpg video-0000000000000003.jpg video-0000000000000005.jpg -------------- I have attached the shotwell.log to this message. I note when paging the photo library that thumbnails are generated on the fly. But that does not happen when paging the events. In that case a message is written into the shotwell.log --------------L 5920 2017-09-11 09:58:30 [CRT] EventDirectoryItem.vala:109: Unable to fetch preview for Event [507/6088] Thu Aug 10, 2017: Failed to open file '/home/gerrit/.cache/shotwell/thumbs/thumbs360/thumb0000000000000bb9.jpg': No such file or directory
--------------
Would it not be possible to change line 109 in the vala source by
something that generates the thumbnail?
That would more convenient than looking up a random picture in
~/Pictures/2017/09/11
and using ImageMagick's convert to generate a thumbnail
$convert ~/Pictures/2017/0911/<img_xxxx.jpg> /home/.cache \
/.../thumb0000000000000bb9.jpg
Thanks,
Gerrit
p.s. I submitted a bug report earlier
