Status
------

This change has been discarded.


Review request for kdelibs.


Bugs: 319528
    http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319528


Repository: kdelibs


Description
-------

The freedesktop spec[0] has changed the default location of the thumbnail cache \
directory. Now thumbnails are saved in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/thumbnails instead of \
~/.thumbnails/ GNOME has already made this change.

Some applications[1] and documentation[2] (maybe thumbnailers) will have to be \
changed to adapt to this new directory. If this patch is accepted I'll make the \
needed changes. For frameworks we can use QStandardPaths::CacheLocation, I'll post a \
separate review for that.

All thumbnails will have to be regenerated. We could symlink the directory?
Is fromLocal8Bit correct or is UTF8 needed now?

Testing

Remove ~/.thumbnails/
Run dolphin with previews: thumbnails are created in .cache/thumbnails/

Repeated with XDG_CACHE_HOME=~/.cachetestdir/
Thumbnails in .cachetestdir/thumbnails/

Not tested: gwenview and digikam.


Thanks,
