Thunar Thumbnailers is a Thunar file manager plugin that creates file thumbnails within the file manager interface.
Thunar Thumbnailers is a plugin that adds great functionality to the Thunar file manager. With this plugin, users can generate thumbnails of files directly within the file manager. This means that you can easily preview images and fonts without having to open each file individually.
One of the best things about Thunar Thumbnailers is that it uses external utilities called thumbnailers to generate previews of certain files. Thunar comes pre-loaded with these thumbnailers for image and font files, but it can also use GNOME thumbnailers if it's built with support for gconf.
However, there are still some file types for which no thumbnailer exists. That's where the thunar-thumbnailers project comes in. This project provides additional thumbnailers for Thunar that cover less common file formats. It's a great way to make sure that all of your files are easily viewable without having to open them individually.
Some of the formats that Thunar Thumbnailers supports include EPS, Postscript, Fig (.fig), LaTeX (requires tetex), Raw Digital Camera Images (requires dcraw), and Grace (requires grace). And in the near future, this plugin might support video files (using ffmpegthumbnailer) and icon files (.ico).
The latest release of Thunar Thumbnailers also comes with new features. One of the most helpful additions is an option called --disable-update-mime-database. This option makes life easier for packagers by allowing them to skip updating the MIME database during installation.
Overall, Thunar Thumbnailers is a must-have plugin for anyone who uses Thunar file manager on a regular basis. It's an easy way to view files quickly and efficiently, and its support for less common file formats is a big plus.
