It is because I wanted to use the thumbnailer manually for generating
thumbnails outside the home directory for something unrelated to its
intended use. For example as a way of generating thumbnails of PDFs on a
web server which lives in /var/www

On second thought I guess it makes sense to restrict the home directory
however app armor completely threw me off because I didn't receive any
error message about why nothing was being generated.
