What type of images? gThumb has its own code to generate jpeg thumbnails. If you look at svn trunk: libgthumb/file-utils.c:gth_pixbuf_animation_new_from_uri calls libgthumb/jpeg-utils.c:f_load_scaled_jpeg to load jpeg thumbnails (if no cached thumbnails exist). It does not use gdk_pixbuf loaders in that situation. - Mike -- nautilus-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
