SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. have the desktop in front of you
2. have some application create a new image or video file - for example, run
ffmpeg from a terminal to produce a new file, or download a file with Google
Chrome and save it to the Desktop
3. look at the thumbnail of the file that now exists on the desktop
4. right-click and go to Properties
EXPECTED RESULT
- the thumbnail should be updated. If the system is capable of displaying a
thumbnail for this kind of file at all, it should show up
- when you go to Properties, it should show the size of the file
OBSERVED RESULT
- sometimes the thumbnail will remain the generic thumbnail for the type of
file. But if you rename it, it will then show an actual thumbnail, proving that
this is a supported file type that the desktop IS capable of showing a
thumbnail of, so there's no reason whatsoever for the correct thumbnail to not
show up from the very moment the file is finished being created, or a few
milliseconds later
- sometimes, when you open the Properties, the size will say "0 bytes". That's
especially wrong because the moment I explicitly open Properties, you should
NEVER use a cached value, no matter when it was cached, but always read the
actual size of the file.
