Public bug reported:
Hi! I need support for MS Windows .lnk (binary) files thumbnailing. I try to
modify '/usr/bin/gnome-exe-thumbnailer' program and it looks works for me.
Please look at patch below. I test it in old 'gnome-exe-thumbnailer.sh' in
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and in new 'gnome-exe-thumbnailer' at Xubuntu 12.10.
It is also need to add MIME type for .lnk file. For Gnome3, i add
'application/x-ms-shortcut' to /usr/share/thumbnailers/exe-dll-msi.thumbnailer.
For Gnome2, this should work, i will test it later:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=998758&page=2 (seek for 'gconftool-2'
there).
