Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.4.3 OS: Linux When I have a corrupt/invalid file, e.g. a file which download is not completed, thumbnail generation stops at that file and will not continue. I have to remove the offending file to generate thumbnails for all files. I have seen this happen with movie files, but it might happen with images as well. IMO the thumbnail generation should check if the file has valid data, and if it is broken, gracefully skip it, and continue generating thumbnails for other images in the directory. Additionally, an icon overlay for 'broken file' could be put over it as well.
For now, there is no code for failed thumbnail generation (including the part freedesktop.org thumbnail specification that deals with failed thumbnails). However sure, it would be best if the thumbnail generation would continue. Have a nice day!
looks like it is fixed in 3.4.1
On Kubuntu Edgy it's looks ok too.
Closing as it seems to be fixed due to comment from reporter
