Hmmm... see, I read through that fdo spec, and what I thought would happen is: - If the nautilus icon size <= 128, then create a 128 sized thumbnail in the .thumbnails/normal directory. Then resize it down to fit the icon size. - Else, if the nautilus icon size > 128, then create a 256 sized thumbnail, save it in the .thumbnails/large directory, and resize it up or down to fit the nautilus icon size.
But flicking through the nautilus source code, i'm only seeing references to GNOME_THUMBNAIL_SIZE_NORMAL - so I guess nautilus never uses the .thumbnails/large 256 sized thumbnails? (I should also add, my thumbnailer works fine when nautilus icons are smaller than 128, it's only on larger sizes that I run into problems) On Sun, 2008-03-30 at 20:51 -0400, A.
