Description Alex Negulescu 2011-03-09 15:19:23 MSK
Since Thunar 1.1, we need tumbler to display thumbnails in Thunar.
tumbler should be a dependecy of Thunar, and Thunar should be told where to find tumblerd (/usr/libexec/tumbler-1/tumblerd), so it would be run. Without tumblerd running, Thunar won't show thumbs.

Thunar doesn't run tumblerd automatically now; when I run tumblerd manually, all is OK.

tumblerd shoud be installed into %_libdir (/usr/lib64 or /usr/lib not /usr/libexec).

Temporary fix for users: create a symlink:
For x86
/usr/lib/tumbler-1: tumblerd -> /usr/libexec/tumbler-1/tumblerd
For x86_64
/usr/lib64/tumbler-1: tumblerd -> /usr/libexec/tumbler-1/tumblerd

I don't want to add such dependency to the package Thunar itself. This is an additional functionality and not all people wants to have it.
I think there should be the virtual package (Thunar-full perhaps) which will require all additional staff for Thunar like tumbler and gvfs.

Bug #25206.

I decided that there is no need to create package Thunar-full. I made new virtual package xfce4-default which will install tumbler and other packages needed for Xfce.
