- | ====== Tumbler ====== | ||
- | ===== Configuration ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Tumbler has since version 0.1.27 a configuration file to control the priority and locations, file sizes a plugin is used for: [[http:// | ||
- | |||
- | To override the default configuration, | ||
- | |||
- | mkdir -p $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ | ||
- | cp / | ||
- | |||
- | Each group in the plugin is responsible for the settings of a particular thumbnail provides plugin. The following keys can be used to adjust a plugin: | ||
- | |||
- | ? Disabled | ||
- | ! Disable the plugin, the values '' | ||
- | ? Priority | ||
- | ! Numeric value to control the priority of the plugin. If 2 plugins can provide thumbnails for the same scheme + mime-type combination, | ||
- | ? Locations | ||
- | ! A ;-separated path list the plugin will be used for. If the source file is not a child of one of the locations, the plugin won't be used and another plugin with a lower priority will be tried. Absolute paths, environment variables, ~/ and ~username/ are allowed. Leave empty to allow all locations. | ||
- | ? MaxFileSize | ||
- | ! Maximum size of the source file the plugin will still try to generate a plugin for. The size is in bytes, 0 disabled the check. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== Cover Thumbnailer ===== | ||
- | |||
- | By the default the cover thumbnailer is disabled. The reason is that it sends information (movie title extracted from the filename) to online services to retrieve a poster. This information is normally harmless, but it is private, so therefore it's not enabled by default. | ||
- | |||
- | In order to use the cover thumbnailer you need to copy the tumbler.rc file to your home directory like described above and set the '' | ||
- | |||
- | [CoverThumbnailer] | ||
- | Disabled=false | ||
- | Priority=3 | ||
- | Locations=~/ | ||
- | MaxFileSize=0 | ||
- | # | ||
- | |||
- | The movie thumbnailer supports 2 different movie API's. By default the [[http:// | ||
- | Advantage of the latter is that their database has better support for internationalized movie names. | ||
- | |||
- | After creating the rc file, it is best if you log-off and on again to restart Thunar and Tumbler, because both applications cache the mime-type combinations. |
