Pcmanfm keeps deleting and recreating thumbnails
Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2015 4:03 pm
I wrote a little shell script to handle cbz/cbr thumbnails in Pcmanfm instead of using Evince and every GNOME thing coming with it. The thumbnails are created and can be used normally BUT they seem to be deleted and recreated each time I come across the associated files.
Here's the script:
And here's the file in /usr/share/thumbnailers:
I even tried to log the result of ls -Al /home/user/.thumbnails/normal at the beginning of the script, and the displayed thumbnails are indeed destroyed before calling it.
I'm at loss for words. Thanks for your attention.
Here's the script:
