When disk costs fractions of pennies, is that amount of space even a

after moving my photos to new locations. sing the thumbnails are
stored based on the md5 of the path to the image, I ended up
duplicating a lot of thumbnails.
Backed up storage isn't nearly as cheap as throw away storage. Disk
bandwidth
has not been keeping up with disk size. It isn't getting cheaper to
back up
disk space at nearly the rate that plain disk space has.
Use gconf-editor to set:
/desktop/gnome/thumbnail_cache/maximum_age
in days
/desktop/gnome/thumbnail_cache/maximum_size
in MB
The default is 180 days and 512 MB. However, fspot overwrites these
default to much larger values if present.
This is a feature of gnome-settings-daemon (the "housekeeping"
plugin). The purge should occur a few minutes after each log-on.
Considering I log in about once a month, that won't do for me.
I have a cronjob that runs this script I got some years ago:
#!/bin/sh
find ~/.thumbnails -type f -atime +30 -exec rm {} \;
But I don't even remember how I set up the cronjob to run daily! It is,
as this system is rather clean in its ~/.thumbnails
