Hi, Charles Philip Chan wrote:
Indeed, it appears that the thumbnail service is called synchronously.. that is stupid, it should just go asynchronously. I never looked at how the service work. I also think that perhaps all this "daemon" thing that remains there is overkill, why not just launch and then quit? Perhaps it is thought that several thumbnailers could run concurrently in the daemon.. but this has no use anyway, because the "call" to the servce is blocking.Strange I have no problems displaying thumbnails (I am on Linux X86_64). However, if the directory contains a large amount of file generation of thumbnails will fail with "Timeout connecting to Thumbnail Service"- I have to do it in batches. BTW, my GNUstep is the latest svn version.
That was it, btw, the preference was unset, perhaps I reset preferences or something like that.forgot got to add, do you have "Use Thumbnails" enabled under "Icons" in the Preferences panel?
