Hello,

I've been noticing a weird issue with the Photos Application on my N900. For some reason, it doesn't show the thumbnails for some pictures and shows a weird "broken picture" icon instead. However, the picture with the missing thumbnail shows up just fine on the slideshow.

Is anyone else having the same issue? How do I fix this?

So no workaround? No solution? Sigh!

I guess there might be something about that image that the thumbnailer doesn't like. Is it a GIF file (Bug 10779) or a particularly large file (Bug 10067)?

They're all pictures taken from the phone's camera so I don't know what the issue might be.

If the problem images aren't particular private, maybe you can upload them somewhere and other people can see if they appear as thumbnails on their device.

Just run these commands in terminal
rm /home/user/.thumbnails/fail/hildon-thumbnail/*
tracker-processes -r

The first command will delete all broken thumbnails
The seconds will order the tracker processes to delete media database and re-index media contents.

am i right in saying this removes stored failed thumbnails then restarts the tracker to attempt indexing the image correctly?

(pleeeeeease people dont just post xterm commands without explanation, it scares noobs!)
