Thunar does not implement the "shared thumbnails" feature of thumbnail spec

Submitted by Michael Wyraz

Assigned to Xfce Bug Triage

Link to original bug (#15913)

Description

The freedesktop thumbnail spec described how to store and retreive thumbnails. Thunar impements only part of the spec. The "shared thumbnail folder" part described in https://specifications.freedesktop.org/thumbnail-spec/latest/x329.html is entirely missing.

To implement the spec fully, the following things needs to be changed:

  • thunar needs to check .sh_thumbnails and display thumbnails there before requesting new thumbanils to be created by tumbler
  • tubler needs only to create tumbnails if they are not already in .sh_thumbnails
  • for remote drive, thumbnails should also be displayed if they are in .sh_thumbnails, even if thumbanils for remote drives are disabled.

How to test:

  • delete ~/.cache/thumbnails
  • on a remote drive, create shared thumbnails (e.g. using https://github.com/jesjimher/genthumbs/blob/master/genthumbs.sh).
  • on thunar browse the folder with remote thumbnails enabled
  • verify that thumbnails are shown
  • verify that ~/.cache/thumbnails remains empty.

Version: 1.6.12
