|
|
Hi,
I'm using the Thunar file browser as my GUI program of choice and I seem to have lost my thumbnails for .gif files.
Other file formats seen fine.
I had some thumbnails and while attempting to fix it, I cleaned up the cache by running Code: | rm -rf $HOME/.cache/thumbnails/* |
But that removed all my remaining .gif thumbnails.
I have emerged media-video/ffmpegthumbnailer with gtk jpeg png and xfce-base/tumbler with ffmpeg jpeg.
What could I be missing or have misconfigured?

Hello,
Could you post the content of /etc/xdg/tumbler/tumbler.rc ?
Also, do you have gif USE enabled for x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf ? |

Here are the contents of /etfc/xdg/tumbler/tumbler.rc --> https://bpa.st/raw/KYVQ
I attempted emerging gif USE for x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf but that didn't make a difference, unfortunately. |

After sleeping on it and coming back the next morning and trying opening a .gif folder out of desperation in case it had fixed itself - and it has.
I'm not sure why I didn't have any results yesterday but I'm going to add gif as a permanent USE for x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf, assuming that is what fixed the issue.
Thanks.  |

Cool, I wasn't sure about it.
I remembered gif USE was added recently to x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf-2.42.12
According to tumbler.rc (I have the same entry)
Code: | # Supports all type GdkPixbuf supports
[PixbufThumbnailer]
Disabled=false
Priority=2
Locations=
Excludes=
MaxFileSize=0 |
Maybe it did work after you restarted your session ? (so the tumbler daemon was reloaded)
Anyway..  |
