Thumbnails

[ghost]

I'm on Fedora Silverblue 30 and I'm having an issue with PDF thumbnails. Simply they are not being generated due to confinement. Is there a way, such as a command or extension, to allow this?

I have opted to install "Evince" via rpm-ostree for the time being because I simply have too many documents to search through and it helps to have that visual.

I see that the thumbnailer is disabled in the build: https://github.com/flathub/org.gnome.Evince/blob/6457d1c6c63ceca03487c67ec5522caa10d71730/org.gnome.Evince.json#L182

Is there a reason why? Otherwise I'd think it's possible to just create ~/.local/share/thumbnailers/evince.thumbnailer with something like:

[Thumbnailer Entry]
#TryExec=evince-thumbnailer
Exec=sh -c 'touch %o; flatpak run --command=evince-thumbnailer org.gnome.Evince -s %s @@u %u @@ @@ %o @@'

Hi, Does someone have found a solution? I tried teohhanhui one, but it doesn't work. I use archlinux and evince flatpak. Thanks you

Flatpaks don't export thumbnailers, so even if it was built, it wouldn't be usable.
