Ubuntu.Thumbnailer is a QML module that wraps the libthumbnailer
library.  It doesn't provide any QML components directly, but instead
exposes a number of image providers that can be used with e.g. the
standard QML Image component.

For example, if you set "image://thumbnailer/$uri" as the source for
your image component, you can have it display the a thumbnail of a
video file, or the embedded cover art for a music file.  And if you
use "image://albumart/artist=xxx&album=yyy", it will display album
cover art work downloaded from a network service and cached locally.
Both of these are used by some of the default scopes on the dash and a
few of the preinstalled applications.
