Bug Description

Using rtm 142 on krillin, the photo roll previews are missing for most part (the log indicates timeouts from the thumbnailer).

Even when they are displayed, scrolling in the view is enough to get the image replaced by empty squares (that might be a slightly different issue, let me know if you prefer a different report about it)

Note that the gallery app doesn't have that issue, so even if the thumbnailer is slow the camera handling of the timeout seems less optimal than the gallery one

There is also the fact that the roll view doesn't display spinners while loading, which gallery does

Ok, in fact that seems to be happening when a file confuses the thumbnailer.
It's easy to get by doing a 1s video (basically switch the camera in video recording, press record and directly stop, the resulting file seems to be enough to create the confusion)

We have this same problem with gallery-app. It seems to be related with the use of Ubuntu.Thumbnailer. Here is the bug opened against it with more information:

  * Keeps track of failed thumbnails and do not try to regenerate them.
    (LP: #1389678)
  * QML thumbnail provider: make sure sourceSize (aka requestedSize) is
    respected by downscaling at loading time if necessary. Makes
    TN_SIZE_ORIGINAL case much faster. (LP: #1391368)
