[15:27] With the % arguments? [15:27] Exec=/usr/bin/exe-thumbnailer %i %o %u [15:28] Again, everything is in place and perms are set correctly. I can run the command... pretty sure. Unless xub24 changed something about the user cache folder? Or perhaps the thumbnailers in /usr/share are not enabled by default? [15:29] Libera svg seems to work in thunar with tumblr. [15:37] exe-thumbnailer is deprecated https://github.com/exe-thumbnailer/exe-thumbnailer and no longer in our repos [15:37] see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/+package/exe-thumbnailer [15:37] github points to icoextract [15:44] I'll give it a try. Brb rebooting [15:50] Hmm I apt'd icoextract and icoextract-thumbnailer from preinstalled xub 24 repos [15:51] Confirmed that (oof) /usr/bin/exe-thumbnailer was overwritten with its version. Cats out python code [15:52] I'm going to hook up my portable hdd with a million windows binary files on it [15:52] Maybe I'm just unlucky with mkp.exe and the stuff in ~/.wine [15:53] Then again how could that be if the manual command gives out a proper icon with the border and stuff as it used to [15:53] Even though it's deprecated manually testing it seems to work [15:53] And now with the new replacement package... seems to be a thunar or tumbler issue [15:54] Or just a skill issue and I'm configuring something wrong [15:56] Ok so the new one works on roughly half the files. Can confirm [15:57] https://imgur.com/qD5DpOw [15:58] Far less than half to be honest. The old thumbnailer was much better. I used to modify that shell script to fix max icon size and get rid of the 'icon theme' backgrounds too [15:59] For instance, it does thumbnail things like my mortal kombat project exe. This new one doesn't :( [15:59] It uses icoutils I think while icoextract is self-explanatory. [16:03] Oh also the old one has imagemagick dep for resizing and stuff [16:09] Dimmskii: "But what I did is manually copy over files to /usr/..." - that's not something I would ever recommend - unless it's /usr/local/... maybe, but even then, that's not really a good idea IMO. That's because in doing so, you will end up with outdated software which will likely be subject to known vulnerabilities, introduce incompatibilities which can be difficult to diagnose / understand the root cause of) [16:10] In Debian derivatives such as Ubuntu, most of /usr is managed by the package manager, and should be managed by that only (IMO). [16:14] That's a valid point [16:14] I'm going to go over configs again maybe the package manager adds it to /etc/xdg/tumbler/ rc file or something [16:17] What's sad is that I kept planning on githubing my version of the old exe-thumbnailer prior to the deprecation of the package. That method is slower than the newer python one, though [16:17] Part of the reason it got deprecated if I recall correctly [16:19] Gotta reboot again. Also battling with a screen flicker issue. The intel power state kernel params or whatever didn't seem to help :P [16:20] i'm not familiar with the reasoning. another theory for its replacement could be security issues - parsing file contents and possible image data possibly provided by untrustable third parties is a difficult thing to do safely. so this might prompt developers to only handle what is exactly in line with specifications or some of the more 'safe' data/file formats. but that's really just yet another theory. [16:54] Oh wow I got it to work to the same extent as the icoextract packages [16:54] https://imgur.com/a/VvGYtCS [16:54] So I can manually generate a thumbnail out of more files but thunar only does a handful [16:54] I'm starting to think this is a mimetype issue or something [16:56] There's also filesize limits in tumblerd. Gonna play around with that as well [16:56] i'm not familiar with the reasoning. another theory for its replacement could be security issues - parsing file contents and possible image data possibly provided by untrustable third parties is a difficult thing to do safely. so this might prompt developers to only handle what is exactly in line with specifications or some of the more 'safe' data/file formats. but that's really just yet another theory. [16:56] Wait let me just sort the !INASTALL folder by file size [16:56] ^ i wrote this previously, when you had just dosconnected [16:57] Hmm [18:01] SOLVED [18:02] I'm going to open this issue on GitHub. Affects both deprecated and icoextract-thumbnailer package (!!!) [18:03] Thumbnailing won't happen on a great portion of windows .exe files unless you add mime type application/vnd.microsoft.portable-executable [18:06] The original deprecated script I'm using just hung tumblerd on hwi_740.exe (hwinfo installer) it seems though [18:06] Gonna check if icoextract is more tolerant. If so, it's at least a viable temporary remedy. === Tom is now known as Guest8794 [18:43] Dimmskii, oke, have fun! [19:13] :D
