I ran the install script and got an error that Distribution could not be detected so epub-thumbnailer could be used to manually generate thumbnails.

Looking at the script I noticed that for Gnome 3 or xfce4 the script would just copy epub.thumbnailer from the src directory to /usr/share/thumbnailers/, so I did just that and hit refresh on Nautilus. Thumbnails are generated normally.

Maybe you could just add a check for Unity (or maybe just Nautilus in general?) and install it there.

Thanks @hopugop!

I've been adding installation support as soon as I got my hands on different environments where I could test it. Could you help me out by telling me what the following commands return?

I threw in a nautilus version as well.

Thanks a lot!

I've actually been able to get a machine with Unity in it, and I've updated the installer to support it.

If you can/want, try removing your manual installation and reinstall using the installer to see if it works ;)

Thanks again for taking the time to report!

I also tested on a brand new installation, it's working great! Thank you for the time to work on this, the project is great!
