Re: Confused about nautilus thumbnails

[Nyall <nyall zombiepigs net>]

I started trying to implement this and was making reasonable progress,
but hit a problem. What I've found is that
g_file_info_get_attribute_byte_string only returns files
in .thumbnails/normal when asked for G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_PATH
I'd need a similar attribute for G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_LARGE_THUMBNAIL_PATH,
which would look in .thumbnails/large
So I'm not sure how to proceed from here - what's the correct procedure
for getting something like this implemented in gio?

For comparison purposes, here's some screenshots:
