Hi all: we’ve been working on a rewrite of the thumbnailer service, as used by the Camera and Gallery apps, and by several scopes, to quickly fetch, resize and cache images from pictures and videos.
This is now available on silo 10, for both vivid and wily phone images. We are very happy with the improved performance, but some rough edges may still be there. We want to ask you all to test it and report any issues, especially if you are a developer of an app that imports the Ubuntu.Thumbnailer QML component, or if you are a scope developer that uses it. Please report any issues found at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thumbnailer If you are a devel, please also make sure to check the logs for your app in ~/.cache/upstart/ A warning will be placed there if your app is asking for an invalid thumbnail size (usually -1), and a full size image will be returned instead, which in many cases may affect the performance of your app or scope. If you get this warning, please adjust your code to provide the real image size needed instead of -1. Thanks a lot! -- alecu, on behalf of the Unity API team -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
