Thumbnails appear in gallery even after deletion

A refresh tracker app i think is needed. At least until jolla fixes the tracker. For the non power/dev-mode users.

@ApB Yes. Or just an option in the settings: "Force reload of media files"

@Moth - Thanks Moth. That post took me very near to the solution. But I am not sure how to refresh the tracker control.

Or is there something like just deleting entire photos in the gallery?

@VenomousBane the command you've to enter in terminal is:

tracker-control -es

This means: reset tracker-db and restart miners to get your collection re-created.

there is an option to clear tracker from System->Utilities->clear tracker database

Thank you, but do you really think users should go through System->Utilities->clear tracker database procedure to perform a task which is executed automatically on other devices? As far as I'm concerned, this is a very obvious bug and I'm surprised that it hasn't been fixed already.

TBH I used that utility only once, just to recreate the tracker database, no real need tho. As a normal user, and I have few thousands of pics, few hundred videos, and 1k of songs, I never had such a problem.

I'm afraid I couldn't find 'clear tracker database' option so i selected 'Refresh media database' and now my Jolla says that I have exactly 0 pics and 0 videos in my gallery. This is precious... Well, back to terminal :-)

Executing tracker-control -es did recover lost images and videos, but the problem still persists. It doesn't happen always, but in most cases when I select more than one photo to be deleted at once, thumbnails of deleted images remain until I exit the 'Photos' section. Btw, I don't think that I've ever had more than 100-150 photos in my gallery so it's definitely not happening because of large amount of files.
