How to clear individual picture thumbnails?

[sugatam]

Here's my issue. I have a folder - "Foo", that has a whole bunch of photos oriented incorrectly. These were taken by an old camera that didn't set the Orientation flag properly, so all of them have Orientation:1 in their EXIF data. I take one photo and update its exif Orientation to 6, which should be the correct orientation.

In the folder view, ie, when I'm inside "Foo", the thumbnail is messed up - its changing the image dimensions to portrait, but reusing the old pixel data so it looks like a squished version of the original mis-rotated image. If I rename the folder, pigallery2 does the right thing, but no amount of database resetting and re-indexing / temp folder cleaning, etc is picking up the proper image. Clearly it is a caching/db issue, otherwise a folder rename wouldn't have fixed it, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to clear the cache. I really don't want to delete sqlite.db and start over if I can help it.

You can manually delete the effected folder in your temp folder (the one that you set for the app)

Thank you Patrik, that was simple enough. Any way to clear the client-side cache? I tried clearing the Application Storage via (chrome) dev tools but it doesn't seem to help.

Never mind, a disk cache clearing did the trick! Thanks again
