Anyway, off-topic question: Do people have a suggestion for how to
auto-generate the thumbnails for Nautilus before the live CD runs. That
way, Nautilus will have pre-generated thumbnails for the images and
movies. That will look nice, plus avoid a TERRIBLE I/O storm caused by
Nautilus opening these folders and saying, "Oh, I'll make thumbnails now."
I looked at this at one point and had something working. You want to
resize to an image that's < 128x128 and stick the thumbnail under
~/.thumbnails/normal. For a file that's (eg, for the fedora user)
~/Photos/me.png, the thumbnail would be
~/.thumbnails/normal/$(echo "file:///home/fedora/Photos/me.png" | md5sum)
echo -n, I presume. Hilariously the spec is a 403
<http://jens.triq.net/thumbnail-spec/> but it's available in the Wayback
Machine.
If you come up with a nice script to do this, I'd be glad to include it
in livecd-tools as an example for others :-)
I'm disappointed to say I may make such a contribution. (-;
