That's racy, however. Think about another program really accessing the file between the thumbnailer reading the file and setting atime back. Also, in the meanwhile, relatime has been enable as default mount option for linux fs. This means that keeping reading a file will not be enough for making it safe in /tmp, unless the admin has set the norelatime option.
