There is a conceptual issue here: how can nautilus know the new image is
the same as the old one?

If the directory in which these files are is open while it is renamed,
nautilus will update the thumbnails, but otherwise there’s no way it
could know; keeping track of all pictures being renamed would require an
insane amount of resources.
