Hi,
I was losing all my thumbnails too. I found the problem was caused by another program, Bleachbit, which I use to clears unnecessary files. In this case I unchecked Bleachbit's "system cache" option which clears the clipboard, cache, broken desktop files, overwrites free disk space, wipes the swap and free memory, temporary files etc, and this fixed the problem.

Hi Lucas,

yes, I'm using the custom library directory.
I'll check if I can reproduce this problem with the default library.

Best wishes,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Just to confirm, you are using a custom library directory, right? This
is to say, your Shotwell library directory isn't ~/Pictures?

Hi,

after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10 shotwell has a problem on my computer.
I don't know exactly why but it seems that the folder .cache has been
deleted from my home-dir.

Now shotwell does not show the thumbnails for a lot of files and this error
occures over and over again:

L 2488 2012-10-25 00:21:34 [CRT] Thumbnail.vala:341: Unable to fetch
high-quality thumbnail for DataView 11838000.jpg [DataSource [4991]
/media/Daten/Bilder/.shotwell/pics/2011/01/21/11838000.jpg
(/media/Daten/Bilder/.shotwell/pics/2011/01/21/11838000_verändert_1.jpg)]
(scale: 189): Datei
»/home/mweisshaupt/.cache/shotwell/thumbs/thumbs360/thumb000000000000137f.jpg«
konnte nicht geöffnet werden: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

The last part says that the thumbnail file could not be found.

Is there a way to remove all thumbnail references so that everything is
generated again?
I've searched the database for this but all I could find was related
thumbnails to a tag...

Thx,
Martin
