            Bug ID: 370348
           Summary: .thumbnail directory
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.2.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR

Hello,

I work with digiKam 5.2.0 on a Win 7 system.

As far as I understand the digiKam documentation digiKam stores all its data -
thumbnails included - inside of database files.
But in directory c:\user\USER\.thumbnail\large I found lots of *.png
thumbnails.

In case of digikam (or showfoto) do not need these cached files within the next
session, for a better housekeeping it would be very helpful to delete these
file atleast at end of a session.
In case of digikam (or showfoto) need the files in its next session these
thumbnail should be stored in a subdirectory of database directory (selected by
user). 

Thanks in advance and Best regards
Herb

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Work with digikam and/or showfoto with images newly found inside an album.
2. Look at directory c:\user\USER\.thumbnail\large
3.
