Crunch Thumbnailer

Distribution

Author: Thomas “illwieckz” Debesse dev@illwieckz.net.

License: This tool is distributed under the highly permissive ISC license.

Description

This is a thumbnailer for the GNOME desktop. It generates thumbnails for .ktx, .dds and .crn texture files.

It relies on the crunch tool to decode these files then it uses the convert tool from ImageMagick to generate thumbnails.

Mime-type definitions for image/ktx, image/x-dds and image/x-crn are installed if they are missing.

How it looks

Here is an example of thumbnails displayed by nautilus:

Installation

./configure
make install
make update-db

On supported distribution like Debian, you may generate a package by doing:

./configure
make checkinstall

You can then install the package using gdebi. This feature requires checkinstall and fstrans to be installed. Be sure to uninstall previous version of crunch-thumbnailer before running ./configure to properly detect missing Mime-type definitions, or those will not be shipped in newer package.

About the thumbnailer
