I hate to say it, but it makes sense to convert all the functions
`tumme' to a name that starts with `dired' rather than `thumbnails'.
`Thumbnails' are common and becoming more so. That name is no good.
I know that 17 variables and functions in what used to be called
`tumme.el' have `dired' in their names. They will have to be changed.
Suppose the name chosen is `dired-view'. (That name does not
distinguish between static images and movies. People who drive cars
and who listen, the `situationally blind', will not `view' them -- and
the rest of us do not want them to.)
For convenience, the `dired-view' part of the name should always be
first even when the command is not for dired, such as
`thumbnails-thumb-name'.
(Documentation needs a human look since it does not follow functions'
and variables' names. Thus, the documentation string for the variable
`thumbnails-thumbnail-buffer' says "Thumbnails's thumbnail buffer."
(It should be changed to a line such as "Dired View mode's thumbnail buffer.")
I suggest the following name changes:
thumbnails-dired-disp-props --> dired-view-disp-props
thumbnails-dired-insert-marked-thumbs --> dired-view-insert-marked-thumbs
thumbnails-dired-after-readin-hook --> dired-view-after-readin-hook
thumbnails-toggle-dired-display-properties -->
dired-view-toggle-dired-display-properties
thumbnails-dired-with-window-configuration -->
dired-view-dired-with-window-configuration
thumbnails-associated-dired-buffer --> dired-view-associated-dired-buffer
thumbnails-dired-next-line --> dired-view-next-line
thumbnails-dired-previous-line --> dired-view-previous-line
thumbnails-dired-file-marked-p --> dired-view-file-marked-p
thumbnails-jump-original-dired-buffer -->
dired-view-jump-original-dired-buffer
thumbnails-setup-dired-keybindings -->
dired-view-setup-dired-keybindings
thumbnails-dired-display-external --> dired-view-display-external
thumbnails-associated-dired-buffer-window -->
dired-view-associated-dired-buffer-window
thumbnails-dired-display-image --> dired-view-display-image
thumbnails-dired-comment-files --> dired-view-comment-files
thumbnails-dired-display-properties --> dired-view-display-properties
thumbnails-dired-edit-comment-and-tags --> dired-view-edit-comment-and-tags
Also, instances of
thumbnails-thumb
should probably be converted to
dired-view-thumb
and instances of
thumbnails-thumbnail
to
dired-view
I hardly ever look at images or movies. Indeed, I know so little that
was confused by the similarity between
;;; thumbs.el --- Thumbnails previewer for images files
;;; thumbnails.el --- use dired to browse and manipulate your images
which appeared in this morning's CVS. Had I not known that Mathias
Dahl wrote tumme.el, I would not have known which to choose.
Doubtless I have left out parts. Making the changes will be hard, but
will be easier for someone who knows the topic.
