Hi Josep,

this is a reasonable idea - I've ticketed it at http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4489 .

You should know, however, that we're thinking about storing thumbnails in photo directories themselves at some point:

http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/2250

With this approach, we'd create a .thumbnail directory in each photo directory and store thumbnails there. At that point there would be no need for a directory tree as you propose. Cheers -

Hello:
Shotwell saves the thumbs in a flat directory.
I propouse create a directory tree for thumbs to improve scalability.

For instance:
For the firsts 16K photos, a flat directory can be used
For the next photos, 1 new directory, in the main directory, can be created to acomodate another 16K thumbs

Whit this schema, and the same actual name schema, it is not needed to save the full path for every thumb because it can be computed from te file name.
