gnome imaging apps follow the freedesktop.org thumbnailing spec: http://people.freedesktop.org/~vuntz/thumbnail-spec-cache/
There is no gnome-wide disable-thumbnail setting, and I doubt you'll convince anyone that it is worth having one. (Part of the probably is that nautilus, gthumb, and eog can be present on a system in any combination.) gnome generally tries to minimize the number of user settings. That's controversial, and kde takes a different approach, but it is the general gnome approach. gThumb has a disable-thumbnail setting, although it can only be enabled through gconf-editor. Maybe you can convince eog to do the same, but such a patch would have to go upstream. However: have you tried "chmod -R 550 ~/.thumbnails"? Making ~/.thumbnails read-only would probably resolve your issue. (If it doesn't, that would be a serious bug.) - Mike -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255030 Title: Eog creates thumbnails even when deactivated in gnome -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
