I love the open source community. Thanks for this!
now to wait for how to do this in gnome and nemo
file managers
Expect that
I don't expect anything but Nemo is a Nautilus based file manager (as is Caja) and they can use gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer, which means they can also use a custom pixbuf loader.
Arch Linux has a pre-built package based on this other version.

gotta love
hmm meson

wait . . . the latest commit states "Remove thumbnailer"
okay . . . where do i put qoi.h
(and all the other possibly needed files)
okay downloaded it and built
and then ran meson install
but now when i check gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders
there is no file MIME containg qoi
yeah i just checked /usr/share/mime/packages
and the qoi.xml is there but nemo still wont detect it
it is still showing as application/octlet-stream
instead of image/x-qoi
okay after running update-mime-database
it now shows as image/x-qoi
but there is still no thumbnails
I just quickly build qoiview
just to make sure that it was properly formed and it works
the shotgun.png and the corresponding .qoi file
in the file explorer (thumbnails)
I just quickly tried added image/x-qoi
to /usr/share/thumbnailers/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer.thumbnailer
and updating the thumbnailers database
and nothing
after running nemo with the --debug
flag i see this (after rm -rfv
'ing ~/.local/cache/thumbnails/*
)
** (gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer:38848): WARNING **: 10:52:55.213: Could not thumbnail 'file:///home/walksanator/Downloads/image/shotgun_PNG31.qoi': Couldn?t recognize the image file format for file ?/home/walksanator/Downloads/image/shotgun_PNG31.qoi?
(nemo:38837): CinnamonDesktop-WARNING **: 10:52:55.215: Unable to create loader for mime type image/x-qoi: Unrecognized image file format
(nemo:38837): CinnamonDesktop-WARNING **: 10:52:55.216: Error creating thumbnail for file:///home/walksanator/Downloads/image/shotgun_PNG31.qoi: Unrecognized image file format
any ideas what to do now?
another thing I have just tried.
sudo gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache libpixbufloader-qoi-0.1.so
and it appears to work but when i run
gdk-pixpub-query-loaders
the image/x-qoi
file is not in there but it is in the file at
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
okay . . . now i am just plain mad for some reason it is building x86_64 when my gdk-pixbuf is i386 . . . gonna need alot of help with this one
@tobozo kida need alot of help now. i have dug myself a bit too deep to back out now. but that said i am also stuck as i dont know where to go from here
see my agony above
tl;dr my gnome-pixbuf
is x32
on a x64
system and i cant use x64
.so files in a x32
program. but pixbufloader-qoi
is building x64
wait a minute
why dont i just use qoiconv
to convert the qoi image to png. then use ffmpeg or something to downscale the image
LETS GOOOOOOOO thumbnailer script (placed at /usr/local/bin/qoi-thumbnail)
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#name our variables so we can understand them
image_size="$1"
input_image="$2"
output_thumbnail="$3"
tmp="$(mktemp).png"
qoiconv "$input_image" "$tmp"
convert "$tmp" -resize "$image_size"x"$image_size" "$tmp"
mv "$tmp" "$output_thumbnail"
thumbnailer entry placed at /usr/share/qoi.thumbnailer
[Thumbnailer Entry]
TryExec=/usr/local/bin/qoi-thumbnail
Exec=/usr/local/bin/qoi-thumbnail %s %i %o
MimeType=image/x-qoi;
mime file (directly stolen from here)
and placed at /usr/local/share/mime/packages/
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'>
<mime-type type="image/x-qoi">

screenshots
created a github repo https://github.com/walksanatora/qoi-thumbnailer-nemo
i just implemented modifying of /etc/magic
so now qoi files can be picked up using file
and now it returns image/x-qoi
upon using file --mime-type
Hello and thanks for this awesome library!
Here's a plugin I made for KDE using your library as a submodule, it enables QOI thumbnails in Dolphin:
