Cover Thumbnailer doesn't work

[DarkRedman]

Hello everyone,

I'm using Cover-thumbnailer 0.8.2~ppa0 on Ubuntu 11.04

And it seems to doesn't work at all, so I tried to fix it emptying the thumbnails cache but it doesn't change anything for music and pictures folder.

"ubuntu-bug cover-thumbnailer" doesn't work at all so I can't bring any errors or log.

In facts it seems I've to empty the thumbnails cache and kill nautilus each time I want to update the thumbnails.

I thought that kind of bug was fixed since the first versions.

Cover-thumbnailer should force thumbnails refresh I think, because it's boring and not efficient to do it manually each time.

Sadly, It is not as easy... Cover Thumbnailer does not manage the Nautilus' cache at all and Cover Thumbnailler is called (by nautilus) only when Nautilus wants a new thumbnail... :(

I guess we should change it in nautilus/libnautilus-private ( I got it via a git clone) but I'm not good with C and I think in the code is only handles for files but it doesn't precise if it could be directories or not.

Does anynone could check it out ? http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/tree/libnautilus-private/nautilus-thumbnails.c
