Description james 2006-03-21 04:19:14 CET
The thumbnailer doesn't generate thumbnails for files with a : or a &.
Comment 1 Benedikt Meurer editbugs 2006-03-22 00:31:34 CET
For what kind of files? Image files or other files? And for which file systems?
Comment 2 james 2006-03-22 00:56:51 CET
.avi and .mpg files.  Using ext3.
Comment 3 Benedikt Meurer editbugs 2006-03-22 18:27:51 CET
Works properly using the totem video thumbnail. What thumbnailer do you use for AVI files? You can find out using the command: gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/video@x-avi/command
Comment 4 james 2006-03-22 18:49:06 CET
/usr/bin/gnome-video-thumbnailer -s %s %u %o

I think you might just have to add quotes are the file name in the source.
Comment 5 Benedikt Meurer editbugs 2006-03-23 10:54:01 CET
The paths (%o is replaced with the path to the output file, %i is replaced with the path to the original file) and URIs (%u is replaced with the URI to the original file) are quoted using g_shell_quote().

You could try to add a debug message to thunar-vfs-thumb.c:610, which prints the command that would be executed using

 g_message ("command=\"%s\"", command);

Maybe this helps to locate the problem.
