Bug Description
Hi,
On Ubuntu ( Budgie ) 20.04 when using Gimp as a snap, you’ll see thumbnails for .xcf files only « inside » Gimp and nowhere else ( Nemo, Nautilus, gThumb… )
I did a messy workaround for .xcf thumbnails to appear anywhere expected : I put all of my user’s thumbnails into ~/snap/
You’d agree it’s absolutely a bad idea to store all of an user’s thumbnails into a particular subfolder of a particular snap.
How tell my session to look for thumbnails not only in ~/.cache/

Okay… differently worded :
is it normal thumbnails generated by a snap-app ( and therefore stored somewhere under ~/snap/… )
can't be then used by file explorer or pictures viewer ?
It's a regression between same app-as-deb and app-as-snap.
Just because Ubuntu looks for thumbnails only in ~/.cache/thumbnails or ~/.thumbnails
It should also watch inside any folder named thumbnails inside ~/snap
