Regarding geeqie 1.0:
Long ago I wrote about a problem with the thumbnail images getting all
screwed up if the image files were being renames by and external program.
In other words, if you have a directory with:
image_01.jpg
image_02.jpg
image_03.jpg
and an external program rearranges these images but reuses the same names
(in my case what actually happens is that the images get numerically
resequenced) then geeqie does not recognize this and displays the wrong
thumbnail for the new images now stored using the old filename.
I once suggested that geeqie monitor the mtime of the image files and
automatically update the thumbnail if it's creation date was older. This
was apparently never done as the problem seems to still exist.
If this change was rejected for some reason by the developers and is not
being planned for the next release, then I would like to suggest that some
other means of updating the thumbnail cache be provided. I thought that
right-clicking on the thumbnail area and selecting "Refresh" should do the
job, but it doesn't update thumbnails under the conditions I describe above.
If Refresh could be made to force thumbnail regeneration -- or if a new
force regeneration option could be added, this would be my second preference.
P.S.: In my preferences I have checked:
* Cache thumbnails
* Use standard thumbnail cache, shared with other applications
