Making a thumbnail for postscript is very easy, I just call ImageMagick's convert program - there is no middle stage that I could place on /dev/shm, if that's what you meant? If anybody knows of a faster means of generating a thumbnail of postscript please say.
I think the priorities would be very useful, for example if I wanted to implement two means to produce a postscript thumbnail, but one of those is a lost faster and depended on some unusual program that not many would have installed. I'd want to give the faster one a higher priority, so that out of the two it is chosen when possible. _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
