File manager- no thumbnail preview on some files - how to rescan all?
Permalink 1 user found helpful
In file manager I have some thumbnails not appearing, instead recieving a stock image placeholder. It does not seem related to file type or size. I have cleared the cache.
I found this forumn thread which sounds simular, but doesn't confirm the solution:
http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/usage/file-manager-will-n...
On a single image I can view the properties of the file, then hit 'RESCAN' which then corrects the thumbnail.
Would the correct fix be to regenerate all these thumbnails - ie RESCAN ALL? Is there such a function? Could a JOB be setup to do this once in a while?
Kind regards,
Paul

Hello,
I never thought to look in bulk actions, but true enough the option is there. Many thanks, rescanned all 220 images and now thumbnails are displaying on all files - YEAH!
Hope this helps someone else out.

Hello myTooq
I tried this in my website but it did not work. Can you please tell another way to solve it. When i am uploading the image file the loading does not stop. but when i am refreshing the file manager search list page the uploaded file is showing in the list without thumbnail and file size as zero.
Thanks

You can select all and use the control on the top left of the file manager. There is a drop down to choose bulk actions from, one of which is rescan.
I also had this on a site and it had to do with some of the folders (tmp, trash, cache) in the files folder not holding their permissions properly. I recreated the folders and transferred content, re-scanned the images and all was golden. If a simple rescan does not work, try this.
Good Luck,
