Just tested with Focal's Nautilus 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1.20.04.1 and this does not happen.
Followed the same scenario and renamed 2 out of 4 sample files: 1) Using Nautilus itself. 2) Closed Nautilus and renamed the files in terminal. In both cases Nautilus automatically regenerated the thumbnails. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879169 Title: Thumbs never updated after renaming a bunch of image files Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I refuse to waste my time reporting this upstream, since Gnome developers (or at least Nautilus developers) have proven in several occasions to be a bunch of idiots unable to deal with bug reports (or with bugs in general). You deal with them. I had a folder containing a bunch of image files, namely .png files, named 1.png, 2.png .... up to 100.png and more. I deleted many of them and then renamed the remaining ones to 1.png through 21.png. Now I look at the folder and all the thumbs have not been updated. For example, the thumb of say 5.png is the thumb of the image that used to be called 5.png before renaming. Even hitting f5 does not rebuild the thumbs, and if I right-click on the folder I don't see any option in the context menu to manually force-rebuild the thumns (which shouldn't be necessary in the first place but should be something I'd be able to do). It's obvious that renaming files should invalidate the thumbs cache. Fucking pathetic.
