[Bug 135324] Re: Gutsy: OpenOffice thumbnails transparent
Here's a version of the tracker thumbnailer written in Python which uses the Python Imaging Library (PIL) to modify the background color to white (works for all ODF types). It's quite similar to the one presented in the Ubuntu Forums earlier (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76566), but that one didn't change the background color so had the same transparency issue. This could replace the Tracker version but would (I assume) bring in some unwanted dependencies (Python, PIL etc.). Is there a separate thumbnailer package such as thunar-thumbnailers? Also the shadow effect on PDF thumbnails seems to be generated by evince-thumbnailer (evince-thumbnailer -s 128 test.pdf test.png). I didn't replicate this. ** Attachment added: OpenDocument thumbnailer http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17551089/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text_thumbnailer -- 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I can't see how this is related to tracker at all, could you explain it better? As far as I know, tracker doesn't make thumbnails for nautilus. -- 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 135324] Re: Gutsy: OpenOffice thumbnails transparent
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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 135324] Re: Gutsy: OpenOffice thumbnails transparent
Hi! I was quiet suprised when suddenly I saw odt-thumbnails in my document folder. Reinstalling on another system I was not able to reproduce this behaviour at first. I figured out, that Tracker is responsible for making the thumbnails of odt. files. But, I guess, you must run tracker-preferences first (as non-root user). There on the Files tab you should check the entry Generate thumbnails. After that wait for a while, maybe this will take effect at least after the next reboot or the next day. So, there's no script or anything. So I imported the .thumbnail/normal-folder into F-Spot and selected a preview of an odt-File. With Ctrl+I F-Spot shows meta data. It says: CreatorTool: tracker thumbnail factory Selecting another thumbnail file (this time of a .pdf-file) it says: Creator Tool: GNOME::ThumbnailFactory (you also can check these by xxd image.png xxd makes a hexdump and shows information included in it. Ok, so it's tracker. Thumbnails generated for .pdf files are well done, they even have a small black border and have no opacity/tranparency. The odt.thumbnails have a) no border b) are transparent. The binary responsible for the odt-thumbnails is: /usr/bin/tracker-thumbnailer from the package tracker. I searched for any options or preferences about how to generate these thumbnails. tracker-thumbnailer --help does not exist. and the manpage to tracker-thumbnailer offers no further options. In gconf-editor I either found any options for tracker. 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. I append 2 screenshots, you can see the odt-thumbnails and the pdf- thumbnails, and the problem when a non-solid or darker background is set. Regards, Chris PS: Running gutsy 7.10 on a clean install. ** Attachment added: tracker-odt-thumbnails-nautilus-bright.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16284405/tracker-odt-thumbnails-nautilus-bright.png -- 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

sorry for triple posting. Here's a workaround: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76566 There it's also said, that OOo2 makes automatically saves thumbnails into the document-files. But I guess what we see in nautilus is from tracker.

What package is supposed to provide thumbnailing for OpenDocument documents? I know there's a couple of scripts floating around, but those aren't in the repository. I'd be willing to provide a patch to default to a white background when transparent if people prefer this. -- 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 135324] Re: Gutsy: OpenOffice thumbnails transparent
I didn't know Gutsy included a thumbnailer for OpenDocument files. Anwyays, it looks to me like this is actually intended behavior. OpenOffice.org by default uses No fill as the background color, meaning transparency. The actual thumbnail in the archive (that is Thumbnails/thumbnail.png) is also transparent. -- 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 135324] Re: Gutsy: OpenOffice thumbnails transparent
The documents were made using Windows version of OpenOffice, 2.2.1 I guess. I downloaded them from elsewhere and they came up like that. After editing them with the development version that is included in Gutsy and saving them they have looked like they should (have proper page background in the thumbnail). It seems to be reproductable using current versions, but I can not send the samples (they are CVs and applications of a friend, I was proofreading them to help..) that seem to be doing it. -- 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
