No thumbnails in grid view

[Flimm]

There are no thumbnails when viewing files in the grid view:

This is confusing, because it seems like previous versions of TagSpaces did seem to support thumbnails (according to the video in this LifeHacker article). However, I can't find any reference to removing this functionality in the change log.

The initial implementation of the thumbnails was loading the original image, which was leading to performance issues as in #83. So for now it is disabled, but starting from version 2.0.3, TagSpaces will load thumbs located in a hidden .ts folder. So if you have a file with this path "yourfolder/image1[sunset].jpg", the app will try to find a file "yourfolder/.ts/image1[sunset].jpg.png and load it as a thumbnail for it. The PRO version of TagSpaces will generate the thumbnails in the .ts folder automatically for many file types.

Hi, I've seen "Script for generation of image thumbnails added" in the 2.1.0 "what's new". How can I use it? I didn't find anything "thumbnail" related in the 2.1.1 deb.

The script is located here: https://github.com/tagspaces/tagspaces/blob/master/data/web/thumbgen.sh and was created for the webdav edition of TagSpaces, but it can be used also with the normal version of the tool. As a prerequisite you will need Imagemagick and Linux. It will just create recursively thumbnails in the .ts folders as described in my previous comment.
