Re: [Thunar-dev] Thumbnails for HTML documents
Erlend Davidson wrote: Here's one for xmgrace .agr files (which generally contain a graph). There is one problem however - .agr files have a mime-type of text/ plain so thunar won't know how to distinguish them from any other text files. Install a mime type for the .agr files. Something else occurred to me when writing this thumbnailer... agr files can often be very very large (500MB) and so take a long time to thumbnail. This could also be a slight problem on slower machines with large pixmap/bitmap images. Is there a 'cutout' filesize, above which thunar will not apply the thumbnailer to the file (because it would take too long)? It should probably be a customisable parameter to cater for different speeds of machines, There's no such global parameter right now. But you could file a feature request for this. and perhaps also adjustable from within the .desktop file for each individual thumbnailer (some are more cpu aggressive than others)? The thumbnailer itself could take care of this. Just check the size of the input file, and if it's too large, fail (exit with code 1).

[Thunar-dev] Thunar Improvement Idea
Hello, When thunar is in this mode: Menu-Location Selector-Pathbar Style Would it be possible to change thunar to the view like the attached image. (the image is made with gimp and some magic) And than replace the open the parent folder button even for a button to switch between Pathbar and Toolbar Style. And then switch place with the refresh button. I believe this will improve the working experience with thunar. For example if you are in /mnt/hda3/development/projectx/cpp/ and you have selected something and copied it. And go with a shortcut in the Side Plan to /mnt/desktop and past the files there. If you are in pathbar view mode and you want to go back to the previous directory this is a lot of mouse clicks. With a simple back button in pathbar view it will be one click. What do you guys think of this? Best regards and a happy new year, Jelle ___ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev

Attached a rough latex thumbnailer. Uses latex to generate a dvi and
then convert to output a png.

Does anybody know how konqueror or nautilus thumbnails text?
I've looked at text2gif.

Hello Paul. Paul Smith, 02.01.2007 20:00: After having copyed some files from a data dvd to my hard disk, I get the attached icon for all files. What does that mean? It probably means read-only. You could temporarily switch to another icon set with a more meaningful icon. (It’s a lock in most of them.)

[Thunar-dev] Eject Failure
Hey, When ever I go to eject a CD/DVD from my drive, via the desktop icon, or in Thunar I get the message: /** (gnome-eject:11361): WARNING **: Eject failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_CAMP: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure: Unknown failure. / Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using Gentoo Linux, if that is of any help. Also, I get the a similar problem and error when I try to mount my USB thumb drive. Could these problems be permissions related? I can mount/unmount fine when using root. Thanks. Cory Christison ___ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
