Thumbnailer debugging
Hi. I'm trying to write a thumbnail generator for STL files (3D printing models). You can find it here:
https://github.com/unlimitedbacon/stl-thumb
I have my program working and I created a .thumbnailer file in ~/.local/share/thumbnailers. When I use other file managers, like Caja, Nemo or Thunar everything works correctly. The my program is run and the thumbnails are generated and displayed. However when I try using Nautilus nothing seems to happen at all.
When I run nemo
in a terminal it displays the output from my program as the thumbnails are being generated. However when I try using G_DEBUG=all nautilus
there is no terminal output at all. It seems like my program is not even being run.
I'm not sure how to proceed. How can I get more information about what is going wrong?
