image editor on left-click on thumbnail

[Alex Angerhofer]

Dear List,

I have scanned the last couple of months of list messages as well as the
documentation but without any luck in finding a solution to my problem.

The image editor used to come up when left-clicking on a thumbnail in an
album. I recently upgraded to 0.9.2 from 0.8.2 and found that
left-clicking a thumbnail now puts the picture into view mode.

Is there a way that I can revert to the old behavior short of going back
to the old version?

Thank you very much in advance for any helpful suggestions.

Best regards, Alex.

I did not know that.

Will have a look...

Actually, what bothers me the most is the disk space used by the ~/.thumbnails
directory (for instance, on my computer, it uses more than 650MB;
increasing).

Is there a way to limit in a way or another the disk usage of the
~/.thumbnails directory?

Thank you,

As far, as I understand the standard, it should be safe to simply delete
all that thumbnails. They will be recreated again, when app tries to
show that thumbnail. To limit the size of the dir, one could write
simple cron task, to check the size of the dir and if huge, delete
oldest thumbs (or some other similar strategy).

Got it.

Thank you.
