The thumbnails are created EVERY time that the folder containing the video files is accesed, insted of using the cached thumbnails. This behaviour goes back to normal after downgrading to version 1.1.0, so the problem is in the ebuild. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge kffmpegthumbnailer-1.1.0-r1 2.enable video thumbnails in dolphin 3.go to a folder with videos Actual Results: Recreates the thumbnails Expected Results: Use the cached ones Ebuild section at fault: src_prepare() { sed -e "s:CacheThumbnail:X-CacheThumbnail:" \ -e "s:IgnoreMaximumSize:X-IgnoreMaximumSize:" \ -e "s:ThumbnailerVersion:X-ThumbnailerVersion:" \ -e "/Encoding=UTF-8/d" \ -i kffmpegthumbnailer.desktop || die "fixing .desktop file failed" kde4-base_src_prepare } I think this is the culprit: s:CacheThumbnail:X-CacheThumbnail:
The .desktop file was altered without making the rest of the package's code compatible with the change *kffmpegthumbnailer-1.1.0-r1 (25 Aug 2012) 25 Aug 2012; Chris Reffett <creffett@gentoo.org> +kffmpegthumbnailer-1.1.0-r1.ebuild: Bump to EAPI 4, add explicit RDEPEND, fix .desktop validation. So removing -r1 from Portage as INVALID would solve the problem, nothing for media-video@ to do, reassigining to creffett@gentoo.org for -r1 reverting
As in, you cannot just go around changing .desktop files for them to validate blindly, if unsure, just leave them be
desktop-file-validate is just a guideline and it produces invalid warnings A LOT
Thanks for reporting, should be fine in -r2. + 20 Sep 2012; Johannes Huber <johu@gentoo.org> + +kffmpegthumbnailer-1.1.0-r2.ebuild, -kffmpegthumbnailer-1.1.0-r1.ebuild: + Fix the .desktop file regression of last revision, bug #435520.
