Good to know that ... though I cant get it to work.

Installed "poppler-utils", browsed git and found that there is  the
plugin "poppler-thumbnailer".

Copied /etc/xdg/tumbler/tumbler.r  to $HOME/.config/tumbler and added
poppler to it (no Idea if thats the correct plugin name) :

[PopplerThumbnailer]
Disabled=false
Priority=4
Locations=
MaxFileSize=209715200

Killed tumblerd and restarted thunar daemon  .... nothing.  Help is
welcome !

Is there any doc around on how to use it ? We really need such doc in
the wiki, otherwise nobody will know that such plugins even exist (as
well for the other tumbler plugins)

Cheers,

Alexander Schwinn
