In Android cupcake release, both image and video support micro thumbnail (96*96), and micro thumbnails are stored in one database file, which is under location /sdcard/dcim/.thumbnails.
The thumbnail database file for micro thumbnail consists of blocks, the size of each block is 10k bytes. That is, every micro thumbnail (96*96) occupys one block. Application can use the image or video ID from media database to locate the micro thumbnail in thumbnail database. The issue is that when the image or video is deleted from file system, the occupied block in micro thumbnail database file is not freed. So there may be lots of dead blocks, which accupied file system memory and are never freed. The bad situation is that the dead blocks may accupy hundreds of magebytes. Will this issue be fixed in later android release? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "android-framework" group.
