Or we make it even more simple, and we don't deal with sizes at all. The thumbnailer must make all sizes it supports. It's actually an implementation detail of the thumbnailer vs. the library for accessing them. This DBus specification is only about "requesting the creation of a thumbnail". It's the responsibility of a library to do the final resizing operation and pass it as a toolkit specific pixbuf instance to the application developer (in gtk+ that's for example GdkPixBuf). We don't pass pixbufs over DBus, that makes no sense. Which also means that we don't return any uri. That client library calculate that path by following the thumbnail-spec [1]. Therefore isn't the uri of the thumbnail itself relevant for DBus. That, combined with Rob Taylor's proposal, brings me to this DBus API: <node name="/"> foreach ([mime-part] in supported_mime_parts) { <interface name="org.freedesktop.Thumbnailer.[mime-part]"> <method name="Create"> <annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.Async" value="true"/> <arg type="as" name="uris" direction="in" /> </method> <method name="Move"> <annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.Async" value="true"/> <arg type="as" name="from_uris" direction="in" /> <arg type="as" name="to_uris" direction="in" /> </method> <method name="Delete"> <annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.Async" value="true"/> <arg type="as" name="uris" direction="in" /> </method> </interface> } </node> --- footnotes [1] http://jens.triq.net/thumbnail-spec/index.html -- Philip Van Hoof, freelance software developer home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org http://pvanhoof.be/blog http://codeminded.be _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
