Package: eog Version: 3.14.1-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
The thumbnails are hard-coded to be stored in $HOME/.cache/thumbnails/. It's a good place, but eog should support some environment variables to conform to this standard: http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html Since thumbnails are shared by many apps, having different apps choose different directories breaks the benefit of that sharing. Gimp, for example, stores thumbnails in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/thumbnails/. ATM, users who want to exploit the thumbnail are forced to set $XDG_CACHE_HOME to $HOME/.cache/ to cater for eog. There should also be an "Environment" section added to the manpage, which should document any of these variables that eog ends up using: $XDG_DATA_HOME $XDG_CONFIG_HOME $XDG_DATA_DIRS $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS $XDG_CACHE_HOME $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages eog depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.22.0-1 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.14.5-1+deb8u1 ii gir1.2-peas-1.0 1.12.1-2 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.12.0-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.14.1-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.14.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u1 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.0-2.1 ii libcairo2 1.14.0-2.1 ii libexempi3 2.2.1-2 ii libexif12 0.6.21-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.1-2+deb8u2 ii libgirepository-1.0-1 1.42.0-2.2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1 ii libgnome-desktop-3-10 3.14.1-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.14.5-1+deb8u1 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.3.1-12 ii liblcms2-2 2.6-3+b3 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpeas-1.0-0 1.12.1-2 ii librsvg2-2 2.40.5-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-5 ii shared-mime-info 1.3-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages eog recommends: ii librsvg2-common 2.40.5-1 ii yelp 3.14.1-1 eog suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
