How to stop thumbnail directory from saving pics?
The /home/.thumbnails directory takes up a lot of space. How could I stop the thumbnails from being saved? I tried chmod -x on .thumbnails but something screwy happend, is there better way?
Thanks |
You could set up a cron job to clean it periodically.

I didn't find anything in the specification of the thumbnail protocol to say how to disable thumbnail generation, just suggestions on how to clean up the directory. I didn't read it very carefully though.

Thanks for looking. I guess I could do the cron thingy or keep deleting them when I remember... :) Thanks.

I'm not sure if the konqueror cache setting has an effect on the file-browser setting as well. You could unselect previews in the Previews & Metadata configuration item. That and not enabling previews in the file browser may previent the storing of thumbnails.
Another thing you could try is removing them in a ~/.bash_logout to delete the previews when you logout. |

I am also noticing this problem, I have been manually deleting the thumbnails periodically, last time I did this it had accumulated 3969 files for a total of 70Mb.
Would adding Code:
rm -f /home/username/.thumbnails/normal/* |
probably better to make a cronjob to do it.
