In reply to comment #7: "Anyone an idea how to change this behaviour? The out-of-the-box thumbnailing for odt-files with tracker is great. It's quite annoyingly though, e.g. when you have a non-solid-white background, then it's hard to see these thumbnails in nautilus."
See below. They simply take the thumbnail contained in the OpenDocument file itself (inside the archive) without any editing, apart from resizing it with ImageMagick's `convert` utility. Also I couldn't find the right command-line arguments to properly fill the background color. `-color white -opaque none` comes close, but has some odd effects (I didn't look very long though). See: http://imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#png_www In reply to comment #10: "As far as I know, tracker doesn't make thumbnails for nautilus." The manpage for tracker-thumbnailer says: "tracker-thumbnailer takes an image file as input and produces a thumbnail which is compliant to the freedesktop.org thumbnail specification." And the source for tracker-thumbnailer has: thumbnails_dir = g_build_filename (g_get_home_dir(), ".thumbnails", NULL); See http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/tracker/trunk/src/tracker-thumbnailer/ And there's a thumbnailer for OpenDocument files, see: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/tracker/trunk/thumbnailers/application/ Try: $ tracker-thumbnailer "OpenDocument Text.odt" application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text normal Where "Opendocument Text.odt" is obviously an existing OpenDocument Text document in the working directory. -- Gutsy: OpenOffice thumbnails transparent https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
