[Tracker] Are thumbnails from trackerd really useful?

[Laurent Aguerreche <laurent aguerreche free fr>]

Hello,

currently trackerd generates thumbnails for PDF files. I just wonder
whether it is useful!

To have this feature, trackerd calls evince (which depends on many
components of X and GNOME...) and those calls slowdown a little bit
trackerd.

Graphical shells, like Nautilus, Konqueror or Thunar, are supposed to
know how to make thumbnails from files, and I have already many
generated thumbnails in ~/.thumbnails. So I think that trackerd should
not do thumbnails and let other programs do it by themselves.

Am I missing something?



Laurent.
