I just submitted support for Freedesktop thumbnail icons to NSWorkspace.
They work wounderfull inside of GWorkspace, of course only when another
application has already created them. You will only benefit from this
support when Konqueror or another similar file manager is running on your
desktop. Ah yes, you also have to switch thumbnails on with the user
default value GSUseFreedesktopThumbnails, by default they are off.
The biggest problem implementing this was a bug in NSBitmapImagerep which I
had to fix first. The second problem the know abnormally of our URL
handling. The rest is just the same code I did mail around half a year ago.
Hope you like it
Yes, it's a good addition ! If possible, I think GNUstep should implement
freedesktop
specs when it is reasonable.
Now we just need a method to create thumbnails according to freedesktop specs
in
GWorkspace (or by a service ?) -- enrico did a thumbnail creation, but I
think it is not
"freedesktop-compatible" ?
Yes, it's a service. I planned to make it "freedesktop-compatible" but, to work
again on it, I'm waiting for -initWithFocusedViewRect: to be implemented in
NSBitmapImageRep. Actually, as a workaround, the bundle that creates the thumbnails for
image files, uses some code taken from ToyViewer that, in some cases, gives problems.
