The thumbnails
plugin creates thumbnails your for album folders with the album cover. This works on freedesktop.org-compliant file managers such as Nautilus or Thunar, and is therefore POSIX-only.
To use the thumbnails
plugin, enable it (see /plugins/index
) as well as the /plugins/fetchart
. You'll need 2 additional python packages: pyxdg and pathlib.
thumbnails
needs to resize the covers, and therefore requires either ImageMagick or Pillow.
To configure the plugin, make a thumbnails
section in your configuration file. The available options are
- auto: Whether the thumbnail should be automatically set on import. Default:
yes
. - force: Generate the thumbnail even when there's one that seems fine (more recent than the cover art). Default:
no
. - dolphin: Generate dolphin-compatible thumbnails. Dolphin (KDE file explorer) does not respect freedesktop.org's standard on thumbnails. This functionality replaces the
/plugins/freedesktop
Default:no
The thumbnails
command provided by this plugin creates a thumbnail for albums that match a query (see /reference/query
).
