Something else occurred to me when writing this thumbnailer... agr
files can often be very very large (>500MB) and so take a long time
to thumbnail. This could also be a slight problem on slower machines
with large pixmap/bitmap images. Is there a 'cutout' filesize, above
which thunar will not apply the thumbnailer to the file (because it
would take too long)? It should probably be a customisable parameter
to cater for different speeds of machines, and perhaps also
adjustable from within the .desktop file for each individual
thumbnailer (some are more cpu aggressive than others)?
