SUMMARY Dolphin is not saving thumbnails to the cache and instead regenerates them every time a folder is opened. It will however still use cached thumbnails if they're available(ie, generated with gwenview) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Clear ~/.cache/thumbnails 2. Browse a folder with pictures, let thumbnails generate 3. Check ~/.cache/thumbnails, it's still empty OBSERVED RESULT thumbnail cache remains empty EXPECTED RESULT thumnails should be saved to the cache SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This issue only seems to appear when ~/.cache is a btrfs subvolume.
This is happening to me, too. I think it's been happening for a long time for me, since I've noticed Dolphin regenerating thumbnails whenever I'd enter directories for a good while, but didn't look into it until now.
