I'm have a thumbnail problem on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine where my thumbnails won't stay deleted. I've gone through the following steps in an unsuccessful effort to permanently delete old thumbnails:
- In the
dconf/Configuration Editor
, I go to org -> gnome -> desktop -> thumbnailer and paste the MIME type into the value field of disable key. - In my
.thumbnails
directory, I delete all files. - Stop nautilus using
nautilus –q
. Then restart nautilus.
As soon as I open an image folder, a thumbnail for each image file in this "images" folder gets re-created in the .thumbnails
folder again.
How does one resolve this behavior of thumbnails getting re-created each time I open an image folder?
