I just confirmed this with a snippet of code: Works:
Image { width: 100 height: 100 sourceSize: Qt.size(width, height) source: "/image.png" } Works: Image { width: 100 height: 100 sourceSize: Qt.size(width, height) source: "image://thumbnailer/file:///image.png" } Works: Image { width: 100 height: 100 sourceSize: Qt.size(width, height) source: "qrc:///image.png" } Fails: Image { width: 100 height: 100 sourceSize: Qt.size(width, height) source: "image://thumbnailer/qrc:///image.png" } This throws the following error: Thumbnailer: RequestImpl::dbusCallFinished(): D-Bus error: DBusInterface::GetThumbnail(): ap.png: unity::ResourceException: Thumbnailer::get_thumbnail(): boost::filesystem::canonical: No such file or directory: "/image.png" qrc:///Main.qml:19:5: QML QQuickImage: Thumbnailer: RequestImpl::dbusCallFinished(): D-Bus error: DBusInterface::GetThumbnail(): ap.png: unity::ResourceException: Thumbnailer::get_thumbnail(): boost::filesystem::canonical: No such file or directory: "/image.png" => As stated before, putting media into a qrc file is the way the default template in the SDK suggests to do it (in order to not bother the developer with finding the apparmor confined paths on the phone) and thus should probably also work with the thumbnailer. As the thumbnailer is remote process and thus won't have access to the in-binary resources files, the QQmlImageProvider could perhaps extract them from the binary, provide them to the thumbnailer and delete the temporarily extracted original file again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to thumbnailer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550706 Title: Thumbnails not working with qrc Status in Client Developer Experience: New Status in thumbnailer package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The thumbnailer works only if I load images from the file system, not from a resource file: Image { id: backgroundImage anchors.fill: parent sourceSize: Qt.size(parent.width, parent.height) source: "image://thumbnailer/qrc:///images/menu-background.jpg" } The default sdk template uses qrc as template.
