media-gfx/freecad: fix creating thumbnails in file managers #341

Closed Perlovka closed 3 years ago

Perlovka commented 3 years ago

Hi, currently thumbnails of FCStd files are not created automatically by file manager. This happens because freecad thumbnail tool is not being installed by ebuild/cmake, although all other required files are installed:

/usr/share/mime/packages/org.freecadweb.FreeCAD.xml
/usr/share/thumbnailers/FreeCAD.thumbnailer

Please install freecad-thumbnailer tool to $PATH

https://github.com/pachi/FreeCAD/blob/2b612da7ebb28aa2d2339a40165aa5217aa32758/src/Tools/freecad-thumbnailer

I've tested with Thunar, installing freecad-thumbnailer into $PATH works for me.

Thanks.

Hi @Perlovka, thanks for the hint. Sounds like a good idea to me. I'm looking to add this to the ebuild.
