That is one reason why I hate this global .thumbnails directory. I like to have the thumbnails in every picture directory so I am able to easily cleanup them if the are removed or so. > I've tested very simple method to reduce size of thumb pngs - before > save a file, n lower bits of each pixel component is reset.

My thumbnails are 160x160 in size so that reduction would be visible. Am Sa den 26.

This would make the problem just going to other place. And more worse the overhead would be more so the wasted space would be somewhat bigger. Todays I have a cron job cleaning up the global .thumbnails directory every night. I do not want to have thumbnails there! But unfortunately other software than geeqie (like for example gimp) is saving insistent his thumbnails in that place.
