Recently nautilus has not been refreshing the desktop thumbnails.
On a system that has been running for several hours, Steps to reproduce:
1: Take a screenshot or save a video clip to the desktop.
2: A] The thumbnail is not shown and the image gets stuck at the icon "image-loading" or uses the mime icon of the file type rather than the thumbnail.
- B] sometimes for screenshots/image files , the file is not shown on the desktop ,[space is available but file does not appear.]
On a fresh system everything works fine and the thumbanils are refreshed and screenshot/image files are always visible.
Workaround:
Open the Desktop in a browser :
- the thumbnails are automatically refreshed. [no need to press refresh *majority* of the time , but rarely refresh needs to be used.]
- for image files not visible , notice that the files are still not visible , now when the browser button "Refresh" is used , the files are visible in the browser and also on the Desktop.
