I'm not entirely sure libgnomeui and eog are the right packages for this bug though. I'd rather connect it to thumbnailers such as totem-thumbnailer, Unity Control Center and possibly Zeitgeist.

Perhaps you might want the thumbnailer to create the thumbnails in the specified directory and then create links for them in ~/.cache/thumbnails/? It probably wouldn't solve the problem entirely, but it would certainly be a step in the right direction. Perhaps at a later time, folder encryption could be added, which would be nice. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
