Yes, you are right, i meant scale (don't know why there are two commands
for the same job).
I found that error from first case occurs if in
edit->preferences->general->on startup
"do not change folder" is selected.
In the main menu the launcher is "gthumb %U" (first case) and that is
the difference with the command I entered in the console - only
"gtumb" (second case).
