The problem is, that many programs doesn't handle the movement or deletion of files and the associated thumbnails in the right way. Many times the thumbnails for not existing files are left. Some time ago i wrote this little ruby script, that clears the thumbnail cache from all thumbnails where no associated file is found. Use it on your own risk

1. !/usr/bin/ruby

require 'gtk2'

dir = DirENV['HOME' + '/.thumbnails/normal/*.png']

deleted = 0

dir.each do |file|

 buf = Gdk::Pixbuf.new file
 uri = buf.get_option('tEXt::Thumb::URI')
 if !uri.nil?
   p uri
   begin
     filename = (GLib.filename_from_uri uri)[0]
   rescue GLib::ConvertError
     filename = ""
   end
   if !File.exist? filename
     printf ("Loesche #{file}
")
     File.delete file
     deleted += 1
   end
 end

end

printf " #{deleted} Dateinen beseitigt "

The trunk (2.24) version of gnome-settings-daemon now imposes size and time limits on the thumbnail cache.

The problem is that some incompetent joker wrote a standard that requires thousands upon thousands of files in one directory. By the time you have that, all benefits from having a cache are surely gone.

I reclaimed over a gig a few weeks ago by deleting my thumbnails.

Of course, I had to do it like this: `rm 0*`, `rm 1*`... etc, because `rm *` said "argument list too long". First time that had happened!

I wrote an small script a while ago to check how much of those files were unused, and also you can find a patch to delete them.
