Bug#997873: gwenview: thumbnails not updated; sometimes thumbnails point at deleted image

["Edward C. Jones" <thegripper11@google.com>]

Package: gwenview
Version: 4:20.12.3-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: thegripper11@google.com

If I replace an image with another image with the same name, the thumnail is
not updated.  This is a well-known problem.  A work-around is to empty the KDE
thumbnail directory.

If I replace an image with another image with the same name, when I click on a
thumbnail, Gwenview displays the deleted image. It seems that Gwenview is
maintaining
a pointer to a deleted file.
