Thanks @JulienPalard, That's really interesting.
First that give use idea of new type of image preview we can do with preview_generator. I have not think about preview exe file, font file, etc.. we should also check about comic file format.
Secondly, we can imagine having a image-only builder based on this kind of Thumbnailer Entry. We set somewhere path of thumbnailer dir (by default /usr/share/thumbnailers
) and our process read the available thumbnails and load config to use them to build preview of many mimetype.
I'm not sure that a good idea to rely on gnome code there to get thumbnails there, thumbnailer file are simple enough for support of them to be implemented in preview_generator without real issue.
Now i see some issue with this idea of thumbnailer builder with current preview-generator code :
I do think 2 is the really blocking point.

It could be an interesting source of information about which Debian package can convert what:
We typically learn about ooo-thumbnailer:
Those files looks like this:
File managers typically use it (thunar, nemo, pcmanfm, ...) maybe exclusively via https://developer.gnome.org/gnome-desktop/stable/GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory.html, like nemo.
