AzPainer APD Thumbnailer

Create APD format (v1/v2/v3/v4) thumbnails on the File Manager.

Supported File Manager

• Supported
  • PCManFM (LXDE)
• Maybe works
  • Gnome Files, Nautilus (GNOME)
    • You should restart Nautilus after installation: nautilus -q
  • Thunar (Xfce)
    • Tumbler supports Thumbnailer Entry.
  • Pantheon File Manager (Pantheon)
    • It seems that Pantheon depends on Thumbler.
• Not Supported
  • Dolphin (KDE)
    • KDE supports custom thumbnailer but I didn't implement that.
    • An implementation of ThumbCreator virtual class is needed.

How to Install

• Prerequisites
  • Install apdtool (APD -> BMP)
  • Install imagemagick (BMP -> PNG Thumbnail)
  • Install azpainter (for texture)

curl -sSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/syusui-s/apd-thumbnailer/master/install.sh" | bash -

Files

• apdtool-apd.thumbnailer
  • This file tells pcmanfm how to create thumbnails.
  • Location
    • /usr/share/thumbnailers/apdtool-apd.thumbnailer
    • or ~/.local/share/thumbnailers/apdtool-apd.thumbnailer
  • Ref
    • File manager functionality - ArchWiki
• apdthumbnailer
  • This script creates a thumbnail of APD file.
  • Location
    • /usr/local/bin/apdthumbnailer
    • or directory in PATH environment variable
    • or copy apdthumbnailer to location that you like and rewrite 'apdthumbnailer' in this file to its absolute path
  • Requirements
    • apdtool
    • imagemagick
    • azpainter (for texture)

Issues

• Slow
  • because apdtool takes 0.3-1.0 sec to generate BMP image.
