You have been subscribed to a public bug: The cross-desktop thumbnail spec contains no provision for removing thumbnails, and as a result, the thumbnail cache (~/.cache/thumbnails) can grow without limit. For some users with large numbers of images, the cache can wind up taking up quite a lot of space and even causing free space issues. We should consider setting a maximum size for the cache, or removing old thumbnails not accessed in the last few years, or something like that.
More information, including proposed cleanup scripts, can be found in the following upstream KDE bug report that was reported to track this issue: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79943 ** Affects: kio-extras (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Periodically remove very old thumbnails or cap thumbnail cache size to avoid filling up disk with thumbnails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1782613 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kio-extras in Ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
