#246 image file thumbnails: what needs to be installed?
I'm using xfe 1.43.2 in Tiny Core Linux 64-bit. Everything works perfectly except that I can't get thumbnails of image files (e.g., jpegs) to show up. "Thumbnails" is checked under the "Panel" options.
What backend does xfe use to generate the thumbnails? TCL is minimalistic and is probably missing the backend.
The fox library was to blame. I recompiled it with appropriate configure flags and problem went away. Sorry for the noise.
BTW, it's beautiful that xfe does not need an external utility to generate the thumbnails.
Hi Bruno, please type:
ldd /usr/bin/xfe
in a terminal and you will see the libraries used by Xfe. If something is missing, you will see it.
You will see that Xfe needs libjpeg and libpng to deal with images!
