            Bug ID: 370348
           Summary: .thumbnail directory
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.2.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Database

Hello,

I work with digiKam 5.2.0 on a Win 7 system.

As far as I understand the digiKam documentation digiKam stores all its data -
thumbnails included - inside of database files.
But in directory c:\user\USER\.thumbnail\large I found lots of *.png
thumbnails.

In case of digikam (or showfoto) do not need these cached files within the next
session, for a better housekeeping it would be very helpful to delete these
file atleast at end of a session.
In case of digikam (or showfoto) need the files in its next session these
thumbnail should be stored in a subdirectory of database directory (selected by
user).

Thanks in advance and Best regards
Herb

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Work with digikam and/or showfoto with images newly found inside an album.
2. Look at directory c:\user\USER\.thumbnail\large
3.

I'm sure. These files are not generated by digiKam.

Try to remove it and restart digiKam, just to be sure.

Hello,

thanks for your quick reply.

I was very sure that these files are created by digiKam, because the string
digikam is part of the filename.
The files are created by showfoto:
I started showfoto, opened a directory with 8 *.jpg images and closed showfoto.
Now I found 32 files in directory c:\user\USER\.thumbnail\large.
A typical filename is as follows:
6baabcf91d28667d3c72293b43499e06.png-digikam-ER2644.png

Best regards
Herb

Well for Showfoto, it's normal. Showfoto do not support database and use
freeDesktop standard to generate thumbnails.
