Bug Description

Binary package hint: eog

Lucid beta1, EOG2.29.91, F-spot0.6.1.5

How to reproduce:
- open an image with EOG
- click on the "Image edition" menu
- edit the image

Then, the 3 following don't seem to work at first look, as neither EOG neither Nautilus update their displays:
- menu Photo -> Save
- Ctrl+S
- close the edition window, in the pop-up choose "Save"

EDIT: the image is modified indeed, but EOG does not update it, and neither Nautilus (the thumbnail on the Desktop is not updated)

Hope this helps make Ubuntu better !

I confirm the bug on updated beta: EOG 2.30.0 and F-spot 0.6.1.5

I think that F-spot should, when saving modifications, send a signal to Nautilus and EOG to update their displays.

This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME . Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your answer, I will fill a bug in Gnome bug tracker, and give the links here. If you don't mind, and as i don't know exactly which software is concerned, I will first put some more feedback here:

----- First experiment ---
- Open an image (located either on Desktop or in another folder) with EOG. Then open it again with any editing software (F-spot, gthumb, Gimp..), modify it, save the changes. The image in EOG is not updated.
--> I am not sure it is a bug, it may be the way EOG behaves, so ok to put it in "wishlist" (low priority).

----- Second experiment ---
- Open an image (located either on Desktop or in another folder) with EOG. Then modify it with the "Edit image" button located inside EOG. Modify it, save the changes. The image in EOG is not updated.
--> Here the user is clearly expecting the EOG image to be updated, as he does not know/care that EOG is using an external editing app. It is affecting Ubuntu's ergonomy, so I really think it should be changed ("wishlist" with high priority ? Ubuntu's bug ?).

----- Third experiment ---
- Copy an image on your Desktop (this step is important)
- Open it with EOG. Then modify it with the "Edit image" button located inside EOG. Modify it, save the changes. The on the Desktop is not updated (the thumbnail disappears as if was being updated, but then returns the same as before).
- Close the EOG window (without closing the Fspot window), then save again the modification in Fspot. This time the thumbnail on the Desktop is updated.
--> Here it is clearly a bug. It looks that EOG prevents the thumbnail to be updated.

Ok, I filled bugs:
- https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614637 (Bad interaction between EOG and its Fspot editor)
- https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614634( EOG prevents the Desktop thumbnails to be updated )
- https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614635 (EOG is not updated after the image is edited)

Hope this helps !

Looks that this bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614634 EOG prevents the Desktop thumbnails to be updated ) is specific to the Ubuntu's version of EOG, so must be solved by Ubuntu's team (people who added the "Edit image" button in EOG), not by upstream EOG team... am I right ?
