Thumbnails Plugin¶
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) as well as the FetchArt Plugin. You’ll need 2 additional python packages: pyxdg and pathlib.
thumbnails needs to resize the covers, and therefore requires either ImageMagick or PIL.
Configuration¶
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 Freedesktop Plugin Default: no
