Hi, I've upgraded from Fedora Core 3 to 5 and thumbnails stoped working. Any sugestions why ? Thanks Przemek -- AIKIDO TANREN DOJO - Poland - Warsaw - Mokotow - Ursynow - Natolin info: http://www.tanren.pl/ phone: +48506613147 email: do...@ta... |

Hi > Could you be more specific? Are existing thumbnails still visible? Yes they were, but I've deleted the folder ~/.thumbnails to see what will happen, so now they don't (naturally). > Do new ones get generated, but not displayed (check ~/.thumbnails)?

If I do "Save as" in gimp (to make second copy of some image) it produces a thumbnail that is visible in rox. Thanks Przemek PS. If I change to GNOME I also for some reason don't see thumbnails :-( -- AIKIDO TANREN DOJO - Poland - Warsaw - Mokotow - Ursynow - Natolin info: http://www.tanren.pl/ phone: +48506613147 email: do...@ta... |

So, if ROX-Filer tries to create them then they appear in the 'normal' directory in the cache, but they don't appear in the filer window for the image file? Can you load the thumbnail images into Gimp, etc? >> Are errors produced? > > I didn't see any messages, maybe a log file I should look for ? > > If I do "Save as" in gimp (to make second copy of some image) it > produces a thumbnail that is visible in rox. > > Thanks > > Przemek > > PS. If I change to GNOME I also for some reason don't see thumbnails :-( Maybe something changed in the way GTK writes png files? Try looking at the meta data for ROX-Filer-created thumbnails vs Gimp-created ones. There's a 'pngmeta' package on Debian that might be helpful, but my APT is broken so I can't check it at the moment ("basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid" should win some kind of cryptic-error-message award; if anyone knows how to fix this, let me know!). -- Dr Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net GPG: 9242 9807 C985 3C07 44A6 8B9A AE07 8280 59A5 3CC1 |

Can you load the thumbnail images into Gimp, etc? Yep, no thumbnails in filer window, but using qiv (my default image viewer) they open with no problems, and with Gimp also. I've just check and went in to the ~/.thumbnail/normal folder with filer and all the files in it appeared with thumbnails! But only in that folder. But going thought some other folders with images didn't produce any new thumbnails :-( > Maybe something changed in the way GTK writes png files?

Well, I've tried a different trick, suspecting that gnome is doing something wrong, I've switched my system to boot to init 3 instead of init 5, and then started my ice-wm with rox-filer, and now the thumbnails work! But it's only a part solution :-( Przemek -- AIKIDO TANREN DOJO - Poland - Warsaw - Mokotow - Ursynow - Natolin info: http://www.tanren.pl/ phone: +48506613147 email: do...@ta... |

E.g., running gnome from runlevel 3, etc. If there anything obviously different in the environment.

After all, I had to reinstall FC5 box, after updating all packages and installing ROX again everything seems ok with thumbnails.
