[Dmitry Samersoff]

Hi Everyone,

Is it possible to change thumbnail folder location (except an obvious -
set $HOME) ?

Hi Dmitry,

It is not possible to change the thumbnail folder location because it is
a standard FreeDesktop.org folder: other applications use this folder
to load and save thumbnails, avoiding duplicated thumbnails.

You can probably turn it into a symbolic link, though, to redirect it to
some other place.

Aurélien,

Thank you!

PS: I think private thumbnail folder is a good future request.
