python.new · February 21, 2023, 5:06am

Hello,

Python newbie here. I’m trying to modify thumbgen scripts to produce LARGE thumbnails instead of NORMAL thumbnails. The script is is in github repository called thumbnail-generator-ubuntu. The repository seems to be unmaintained. The particular script file to

github.com

difference-engine/thumbnail-generator-ubuntu/blob/master/thumbgen/thumbgen.py

import os
import sys
from multiprocessing import Pool
from pathlib import Path
from typing import List, Union

import click
import gi
from loguru import logger
from tqdm import tqdm

gi.require_version("GnomeDesktop", "3.0")
from gi.repository import Gio, GnomeDesktop  # isort:skip


global factory
factory = GnomeDesktop.DesktopThumbnailFactory()
logger.remove()
logger.add(sys.stdout, level="INFO")
logger.add("/tmp/thumbgen.log", level="DEBUG", rotation="100 MB")

This file has been truncated. show original

as per

https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/GnomeDesktop-3.0/classes/DesktopThumbnailFactory.html

I have added to the main() of the said script function following line :

factory.new(GnomeDesktop.DesktopThumbnailSize(1))

but nothing has changed. The images produced by scripts are still normal and not large.

any ideas ?
