Thumbnails Plugin¶
The thumbnails
plugin creates thumbnails for your album folders with the
album cover. This works on freedesktop.org-compliant file managers such as
Nautilus or Thunar, and is therefore POSIX-only.
To use the thumbnails
plugin, enable it (see Plugins) as well
as the FetchArt Plugin. You’ll need 2 additional python packages:
pyxdg and pathlib.
thumbnails
needs to resize the covers, and therefore requires either
ImageMagick or Pillow.
Configuration¶
To configure the plugin, make a thumbnails
section in your configuration
file. The available options are
auto: Whether the thumbnail should be automatically set on import. Default:
yes
.force: Generate the thumbnail even when there’s one that seems fine (more recent than the cover art). Default:
no
.dolphin: Generate dolphin-compatible thumbnails. Dolphin (KDE file explorer) does not respect freedesktop.org’s standard on thumbnails. This functionality replaces the Freedesktop Plugin Default:
no
Usage¶
The thumbnails
command provided by this plugin creates a thumbnail for
albums that match a query (see Queries).
