Hello, While packaging kdemultimedia 4.5 I was forced to create a new package for ffmpegthumbs. However, Pino suggested that perhaps thumbnailers should have a more standard name, like kde-thumbnailer-foo and we started a discussion about the naming, which didn't really result anywhere.
Currently there are other thumbnailers in kde-sc packages in: kdebase-runtime: jpeg, image, html, exr, djvu, cursor, comicbook kdebase-workspace-bin: font kuiviewer (kdesdk): qui kdegraphics-strigi-plugins: gs, mobi, raw (completely misplaced here) The idea was to invent a standard naming so that we could split out the thumbnailers from kdegraphics-strigi-plugins, as they are completely misplaced there. I also think that the qui thumbnailer could be out of kuiviewer (as it doesn't use it, it uses QFormLoader directly). My personal opinion after the discussion we had is to move thumbnailers from kdegraphics and kdesdk in <module>-kio-plugins, since thumbnailers are actually plugins for KIO::PreviewJob, thus related to KIO, and for thumbnailers that need to be independent due to their heavy dependencies (like mplayerthumbs and ffmpegthumbs), I propose them to called kde-thumbnailer-<something>. In this case, call them kde-thumbnailer-video-<ffmpeg/mplayer> and make them both provide a virtual kde-thumbnailer-video package (they both provide the same thing and it doesn't make much sesne to install them together, although they do not conflict). Any thoughts? Regards, George -- http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-talk
