Should "Delete recent history" in Privacy settings also delete thumbnails?

In the Privacy settings, you can choose not to store things you do in
Zeitgeist or you can delete entries based on time, such as delete all
entries from the last hour. However, this does not delete associated
thumbnails.

Would it make sense that if you've chosen not to log a specific directory,
then thumbnails also aren't saved to ~/.cache/thumbnails/ and if you delete
past history, then the thumbnails for those files are also deleted from the
cache?

I think a lot of users would assume that this was already the case.


Thanks for the attention.
