STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. cd $(mktemp -d)
2. cp ~/photo1.jpg test.jpg
3. gwenview . &
   at this stage gwenview shows the thumbnail of test.jpg, and double-click
   on the thumbnail shows the content of photo1.jpg
4. Press ESC - return to directory view
5. cp ~/photo2.jpg test.jpg
   at this moment, the thumbnail is updated to show the content of photo2.jpg
   as thumbnail for test.jpg
6. double click on test.jpg
   this shows the content of photo1.jpg and not photo2.jpg
