Is there any similar project for Linux? #8

I've been using this project when I was still using Windows and I still miss this functionality now that I'm on Linux. I've tried looking for something similar with no results. If anyone knows of something, I'd love to know about it. Thanks.

Sorry for asking this in an issue, I don't know where else to ask it.

This is already built in depending on what file manager you use. If you use the Gnome file manager, for example, it shows the cover (might need to have Evince installed, though)

Yes I use Nautilus the Gnome file manager, but I haven't seen a setting for showing covers for an archive file. What is Evince? I might check it out.

This issue is asking for any Linux version or alternatives. You might need to add your own issue if you want someone to answer you about the new version for rar.

I check what Evince was, and it's just the default PDF viewer that comes installed in a base GNOME DE. I already have it. I don't think what it does is what I'm looking for.

Linux file managers mostly use external programs called thumbnailers to generate images based on file type. The Evince package provides one that makes thumbnails for pdf and cb* files, among others. You could make one yourself, too, if you don't want to install it.

It's a document viewer, not a thumbnailer. I don't understand how it makes thumnbnails. Screenshot from 2022-10-24 04-02-49

Edit: I don't know which program is taking the first image in an archive and makes it the thumnbnail. This is why I'm asking.

/usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer would make the thumbnails if you have Evince installed.

I have it installed but it's not doing what I want.
