Description Gehold Bertin 2007-01-25 19:57:55 UTC
Version:           0.9.0 (using KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu (dapper) 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu1~dapper2)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-26-386

I miss an option: "Generate all thumbnails" and "generate all thumbnails of all subfolders/subalbums".

So it would be possible to usage free time to generate all thumbnail and don't waste time, if you don't have idle time...

Bug http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91840 tells, it would be resolved. But it is not...

Thanks a lot

Gehold,

The "Tools/Rebuild All Thumbnails" menu option is exactly what you need...

Comment 2 Gehold Bertin 2007-01-25 20:10:52 UTC
Not exactly....

Because, it REcreate all thumbnails...

But what I mean "only" creating...

So I mean creating all not created...

Sorry, if I say not exaclty what I mean...

Thanks a lot

My album contains more than 6000 pictures... Starting recreating all thumbnails because I've a few new ore moved albums will be overkill, It would be take some hours to recreate all thumbnails.
Comment 4 Gehold Bertin 2007-04-07 10:54:00 UTC
So I started an test... Recreating takes three hours... That is because of all my RAW-Images...

I've an AMD 2.8 GHz (5300+ or so) with two cores...

I'd like to point out that bugs 137320, 138927, 140615 are all similar in the sense that in each case the reporter would like to have *background* (re)creation of thumbnails.
Comment 6 Gehold Bertin 2007-04-10 21:19:39 UTC
Yes, but there a some differences:
* 140615: create all MISSING thumbnails for WHOLE album or ONLY A FOLDER (without blocking)
* 137320: create all MISSING thumbnails for CURRENT FOLDER WHILE SHOWING it (without blocking)
* 138927: REBUILD ALL thumbnails WITHOUT BLOCKING

You are of course right in pointing out these differences. I should have 
worded my comment more carefully. My intent was not to have two of them 
marked as duplicates of the third one, but rather to draw attention to the 
basic issue linking them.

Less intrusive thumbnail creation seems to be a common wish, but it's not 
immediately obvious since the votes are spread over three different bug 
reports. And maybe some of them can be taken care at the same time.

I'm sorry for the confusion.
Comment 8 Gehold Bertin 2007-04-10 21:55:42 UTC
No problem... We are all able to talk ;-)

Of cause you're right: there is a big call for more no blocking actions...
