When thumbnailing remote files that are accessed through a ssh
connection, nautilus passes the file URIs
("ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/foobar/foo.pdf") to the thumbnailers. The resulting
problem is that thumbnailing requires authentication through the keyring
mechanism, since the thumbnailer is considered a new application, or -
if the thumbnailer doesn't init the gnome authentication manager - the
file isn't thumbnailed at all.
This does not affect image thumbnails, since they're generated
in-process (cf. libnautlius-private/nautilus-thumbnails.[ch]).ideas ===== - add gnome_authentication_manager to all thumbnailers - thumbnailing will work - the user is asked for a password for "evince-thumbnailer", "totem-video-thumbnailer", "foo-thumbnailer" - use some internal plugin mechanism - tell the authentication manager to consider the thumbnailers child processes - does this work at all? - will the thumbnailer consider child process as belonging to the "nautilus" authentication? any suggestions? -- Christian Neumair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- nautilus-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
