Naming of thumbnails in Gimp on Windows....

I'm new here, so Hi all. :)

I just finished a python script/plug-in called GIMP Book for managing multiple pages in GIMP 2.6 (I make comics in my free time, so it comes quite handy). It can be found at

I just finished a python script/plug-in called GIMP Book for managing multiple pages in GIMP 2.6 (I make comics in my free time, so it comes quite handy). It can be found at http://registry.gimp.org/node/25975 I developed it on Ubuntu, and it works fine on Ubuntu and Fedora, but fails on Windows.

I've narrowed the Windows problem down to the code that finds the thumbnails created by Gimp. It looks up the md5 hash of the path to the image, and then looks for that image in ~/.thumbnails/large or normal. The same code on Windows returns a hash that doesn't match the name of the thumbnail generated. For instance:

import urllib import hashlib
bla = urllib.quote("C:\g.xcf")
hashlib.md5("file://" + bla).hexdigest()

Returns eef9b62......something, but the thumbnail for C:\g.xcf is called e345adf8ffb47e9a1be0fa35aa457295.png

hashlib.md5("file:///C:/g.xcf").hexdigest()

'e345adf8ffb47e9a1be0fa35aa457295'

Kind regards,

Mukund
