The thunar-thumbnailers project provides additional thumbnailers for use by the Thunar file manager. Thumbnailers are little utilities that run in the background to generate previews for certain file types. After installing this package, each user will need to execute the following command: /usr/libexec/thunar-vfs-update-thumbnailers-cache-1 Optional dependencies are dcraw (for raw image support) and ffmpegthumbnailer (for video file support). If you wish to enable support for either or both of these, you will need to edit the build script to do so - the required lines are commented out. If you choose to compile with dcraw (--enable-raw), you'll also need raw-thumbnailer.
