I can't get thumbnails in symlinked directories either.

"/home/tom/Desktop/2007-05/" is a symlink pointing to "/home/tom/pictures/photos_archive/2007-05/".

If I open "~/Desktop/2007-05/" in Nautilus, and then double-click one of the photos to open it with gthumb, then go to the "browser" view, no thumbnails appear.

If, on the other hand, I go to "/home/tom/pictures/photos_archive/2007-05/" in gthumb, all the thumbnails show up.

I don't know whether this is a problem with gthumb or gnomevfs, as it could be to do with an error in detecting whether or not the directory in question is a network share.

I have attached the output I get from gthumb when using "~/Desktop/2007-05/". I get no output at all when I use "~/pictures/photos_archive/2007-05/".

Changing the thumbnail setting in Nautilus to allow viewing thumbnails on network shares does not solve the problem.

I did not get this problem in Edgy.
