Thumbnails

Postby midfin » Sun Aug 09, 2015 7:27 pm

Since I upgrade to 6.60 (Build4163), Thumbnails stoped working.
Deleting file Downloaded.db3 after stopping newsbin showed only 2 Thumbnails, then nothing.
Deleting file Downloaded.db3 again now doesn't help anymore.

Are they appearing on disk? Newsbin reads them back off disk to display them so, if they're not landing on disk, you won't see a thumbnail.

Yes, the files are written to the download folder on disk, I can open them with an image viewer.

Are they PAR sets?

If you double-click an image in the files list does it pop up?

At this point I'm wondering if something is moving the files.

Think I found the issue.

In the Filenames Modification window, I have activated the setting "Add Subject to filenames under 10 Characters long".

With this option activated, for images with a filename longer than 10 characters, the thumbnails show up and I can double-click the images in the files list.

For images with a filename shorter than 10 characters (the ones that have added the subject to their name when saved), the thumbnails don't show up and I get a file not found error when double-clicking them in the files list.

When I disable this option, thumbnails work fine.

Can you reproduce this? It was definetely working before so I think something went wrong during the upgrade.

Good trouble-shooting. I'll have to look into it. The rename must cause Newsbin to lose track of the file.
