(A;though I dont know > what KDE uses?) KDE is slightly different I think. For example with kwebdesktop (which is used to thumbnail webpages),
kwebdesktop 640 480 output_file input_file. This is not an impossible problem to overcome however, as the thunar way of calling external thumbnailers involves the use of a .desktop file, like: ---< html-thumbnailer.desktop >--- [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Type=X-Thumbnailer TryExec=kwebdesktop MimeType=text/html; Name=HTML Thumbnailer X-Thumbnailer-Exec=kwebdesktop 640 480 %o %u which can be used to change the order of arguments. > >> >> Incidently tracker uses the same command-line arguments as thunar for >> thumbnailers.
