-===== 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 create a config file to white-list locations. If the thumbnail file is a child of one of the locations, it will try to download a poster. 
- 
-<file plain ~/.config/tumbler/cover.rc> 
-[General] 
-# a ; separated list of white-listed locations 
-Locations=/home/yourname/movies/;/home/yourname/downloads;sftp://yourhost.com/home/bla; 
- 
-[TheMovieDB] 
-# API key to use themoviedb.org information 
-#API-key=your-private-api-key 
-</file> 
- 
-The cover thumbnailer supports two different API backends: 
-  * [[http://omdbapi.com]]\\ The //Open Movie Database API// by Brian Fritz. The used posters are most of the time retreived from IMDB. 
-  * [[http://themoviedb.org]]\\ A free and community maintained movie database. This API however required an API key. 
- 
-After creating the rc file, it is best if you log-off and on again to restart thunar and tumbler, because both cache the mime-type matching. Else the cover thumbnailer won't be used.
