[Digikam-users] Thumbnails have returned

[Phil]

I am having a similar experience with 4.12 on Yosemite. Sometimes the 
thumbnails are displayed correctly and sometimes not at all, i.e. 
digikam thinks there are no images in any album. Sometimes it works ok 
when started by clicking on the alias in Applications and sometimes it 
works ok when running it from a terminal/shell. I don't think it has 
anything to do with a problem with the databases, at least not one that 
requires completely rebuilding them.
