Req: Store thumbnails in ~/.cache instead of ~/.local/share #121

Closed xiota closed 3 years ago

xiota commented 3 years ago

Saw this message in the terminal:

Thumbnail being written to: /home/xiota/.local/share/filmulator/thumbs/a354/a3541463202c7001c901965128454ac40001

Would be nice if thumbnails were stored in ~/.cache instead of ~/.local/share.

Any reason in particular?

The purpose of the cache directory is to store nonessential data. It's where other programs store thumbnails. There's already a ~/.cache/Filmulator. It's nice to have a single place to check for left over cruft.

There's also already a ~/.config/Filmulator that the database could be moved to.

It's not nonessential, you'll have no idea what the photos are if you don't have the thumbnails.

Okay... well... I'm clearing out filmulator-gui since it doesn't really work well on my system... and any idea why /usr/lib/filmulator-gui was created? I only ever ran the AppImage files. It shouldn't have had permissions needed to be able to write there.

I don't know. I'll have to look into it.

It contained qml related files... so probably Qt's fault. I ran the 0.9.1 nightly appimage after removing the folder, and it wasn't recreated.
