Do you think it will be possible (in the<br>
future) to access this preview images publically? E.g. via a function<br>
call or via DBUS or any other fancy interface?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Maybe the tumbler thumbnailer API could be reused to that end? You'd need a place to store thumbnails, ideally you could make xfwm4 tell the tumbler daemon to store a thumbnail and give tumbler the ability to serve existing thumbnails? Not sure how that'd be performance wise though.<br></div><div class="h5"></div></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">Steve Dodier-Lazaro<br>PhD Student<br>University College London<br>Free Software Developer<br>OpenPGP : 1B6B1670</div>
