(May be a privacy issue) Thumbnails generated: why and make a way to turn it off
Gnome 3.36.2 Eye of Gnome 3.36.2 Ubuntu 20.04
On Files (nautilus) you can set a preference to do not show (and then generate) file thumbnails from pictures and movies.
Problem: If a user sets this preferences and open an image with Eye of Gnome, a thumbnail is generated on {USER}/.cache/normal
Questions: -Why is this thumbnail generated, on what porpoise? -Should Eog check for the Nautilus configuration before creating any thumbnail? -Or should Eog have a new preference to disable this thumbnail generation?
