Package: totem
Version: 3.38.1-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi.
1)
totem and totem-common contains a lot of stuff,... totem itself, images,
translations
and also the totem-video-thumbnailer (in totem) and it's related files (in
totem-common).
Would you possibly consider to split that out into a separate package?
It's used by several others for displaying purposes (I guess at least nautilus
and nemo)
and thus makes sense to have it installed separtely for people who don't use
totem
itself.
2)
What might be even better is what I've been writing about in the end of
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=+973942#35
Since there are numerous thumbnailers, I guess at least those:
$ apt-file search /usr/share/thumbnailers/
atril-common: /usr/share/thumbnailers/atril.thumbnailer
blender-data: /usr/share/thumbnailers/blender.thumbnailer
dia-common: /usr/share/thumbnailers/dia.thumbnailer
evince: /usr/share/thumbnailers/evince.thumbnailer
ffmpegthumbnailer: /usr/share/thumbnailers/ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer
geogebra-gnome: /usr/share/thumbnailers/geogebra.thumbnailer
gnome-font-viewer: /usr/share/thumbnailers/gnome-font-viewer.thumbnailer
gnome-hwp-support: /usr/share/thumbnailers/hwp-thumbnailer.thumbnailer
gnome-nds-thumbnailer: /usr/share/thumbnailers/gnome-nds-thumbnailer.thumbnailer
gwyddion-common: /usr/share/thumbnailers/gwyddion.thumbnailer
heif-thumbnailer: /usr/share/thumbnailers/heif.thumbnailer
icoextract-thumbnailer: /usr/share/thumbnailers/exe-thumbnailer.thumbnailer
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin: /usr/share/thumbnailers/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer.thumbnailer
libgsf-bin: /usr/share/thumbnailers/gsf-office.thumbnailer
librsvg2-common: /usr/share/thumbnailers/librsvg.thumbnailer
mate-control-center-common: /usr/share/thumbnailers/mate-font-viewer.thumbnailer
mcomix: /usr/share/thumbnailers/comicthumb.thumbnailer
mypaint: /usr/share/thumbnailers/mypaint-ora.thumbnailer
ooo-thumbnailer: /usr/share/thumbnailers/ooo.thumbnailer
pentobi: /usr/share/thumbnailers/pentobi.thumbnailer
qrenderdoc: /usr/share/thumbnailers/renderdoc.thumbnailer
tiled: /usr/share/thumbnailers/tiled.thumbnailer
totem-common: /usr/share/thumbnailers/totem.thumbnailer
it would be nice if there was a virtual package or so, that all of these could
provide and that packages (like nautilus) would then depend on,... maybe with
some preference e.g.
Depends: totem-thumbnailer | freedesktop-thumbnailer
So people would get the standard pics/videos thumbnailer (i.e.
totem-thumbnailer)
but could also easily find thumbnailers for more "exotic" formats like blender.
Obviously this would affect much more than just totem, and I have no real idea
where
to repot a wishlist ticket for that.
Thanks for you consideration,
Chris.

This was done in 43.2-4, with some follow-up fixes in 43.2-6.
