[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Did you use Flatpak packaging on your system to install digiKam ? How
did you update the application ?

However, following the update from 7.7.0 to 7.8.0, I can no longer get the thumbnails and folders to update.  I have tried database cleaning (8 hours) and thumbnail rebuilding (16 hours) but all I seem to have achieved is replacing those thumbnails that were there with the default icons!
