Dear Philippe,

Another postscript, as I think on this further. :)

Before running the above OMERO.cli commands, go ahead and delete everything from the server's thumbnail directory, e.g.,
Code: Select all
find /OMERO/Thumbnails/ -type f -exec rm '{}' +

Leave the directory itself behind. In experimenting I find that the subsequent deletions still work just fine if the underlying files are already missing and that stands the best chance of clearing the issue for you.

Cheers,
Mark

Thanks for the codes, Mark. I will let competent people do that for us (they should do it around Sept 15) and I will tell you know how it works.
In the mean time I have found a way around, that could be useful if one day someone gets the same problem.

- Open the dataset of interest:
- Select the preview tab (top right of OMERO web client);
- Chose a "representative" image. You can change the settings if needed, but this is not necessary;
- Click "Save to all".

Magic! All thumbnails get correctly refreshed (it takes a while when there are many images in the dataset).

I don't know if it will be stable in time, but at least it helps!

A quick note to say that my colleagues ran the codes given by Mark and... YES!!
All new uploads now have the expected thumbnails, and the ones that were wrong got corrected.

Thanks again for your patience and precious support!

Dear Philippe,

Wonderful, we're very glad to hear it. Thank you for letting us know. Let's hope it otherwise keeps on working just fine. :)

Cheers,
