| - | ====== Tumbler ====== | ||
| - | The Tumbler package contains a D-Bus thumbnailing service based on the thumbnail management D-Bus specification. This is useful for generating thumbnail images of files. | ||
| - | ===== Configuration ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Tumbler has since version 0.1.27 a configuration file to control the priority, locations and file sizes the plugin is used for: [[http:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | To override the default configuration, | ||
| - | |||
| - | NB: '' | ||
| - | |||
| - | mkdir -p $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ | ||
| - | cp / | ||
| - | |||
| - | Each group in the configuration file is responsible for the settings of a particular thumbnailer 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 as described above and set the '' | ||
| - | |||
| - | [CoverThumbnailer] | ||
| - | Disabled=false | ||
| - | Priority=3 | ||
| - | Locations=~/ | ||
| - | MaxFileSize=0 | ||
| - | # | ||
| - | |||
| - | The movie thumbnailer supports two different movie APIs. By default, the [[http:// | ||
| - | The advantage of the latter is that their database has better support for internationalized movie names. | ||
| - | |||
| - | After creating the rc file, it is best to log off and on again to restart Thunar and Tumbler, because both applications cache the mime-type combinations. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Desktop Thumbnailer Plugin ===== | ||
| - | As of version 0.2.0, the desktop thumbnailer functionality has been added back into tumbler. This functionality supports custom .thumbailer files placed in the / | ||
| - | |||
| - | For example, to create a custom thumbnailer for .dds files, do the following: | ||
| - | - Create the appropriate .thumbnailer file:< | ||
| - | [Thumbnailer Entry] | ||
| - | Version=1.0 | ||
| - | Encoding=UTF-8 | ||
| - | Type=X-Thumbnailer | ||
| - | Name=dds Thumbnailer | ||
| - | MimeType=image/ | ||
| - | Exec=/ | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | - Ensure that a dds mimetype exists in your system (you can view mimetypes with the Xfce4 Mime Type Editor). If it does not exist, create the necessary mime file:< | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | <icon name=" | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | <glob pattern=" | ||
| - | </ | ||
