Thumbnails in Geeqie
« on: 2017/01/21, 13:21:36 »
 I use geeqie a lot because its fast and comes with no database. But two things I miss a lot:

 
 a) Since Plasma and Paintinblack geequi is not showing or creating thumbnails from xcf and videofiles  (mov, mp4). ffmpegthumbnailer, ffmpegthumbs and gnome-xcf-thumbnailer are installed!
 
 Before I could also create the xcf the thumbnails in gwenveiw, which were then visible also in geeqie. This workaround is not working under plasma5 (but gwenview still makes the thumbs)
 
 b) I am looking for ages for a trick to start videos from geeqie. For jpg and xcf I could create a shortcut. Pressing 0 on the numblock opens the picture in gimp.
 Would be really nice to have the same with videos and vlc.
 
 So, if somebody could help, it would be nice, since geequie does not have a forum etc.
 Thanks

Hi,
never used Geeqie, but did you have a look here https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Geeqie/
Maybe it helps.

Well, I know the link. Maybe its a possible solution for the secon problem:

Code: [Select]
Externe Editoren  Um weitere externe Programme zur Bildbearbeitung einzubinden, erstellt man sich einen eigenen Programmstarter mit der Endung .desktop im Ordner ~/.local/share/applications/. Entscheidend sind hier die Einträge "Categories=..." und "MimeTyp=...".

Beispiel: 
Categories=X-Geeqie;Graphics;2DGraphics;GTK; MimeType=image/cr2;image/crw;image/nef;image/x-dcraw;image/x-ciff;image/x-mrw;image/x-x3f;image/x-orf;image/x-nef;image/x-cr2;image/x-raf;  ...

Nach einem Neustart von Geeqie sollte das entsprechende Programm im Menü unter "Bearbeiten -> Externe Editoren" aufgelistet sein.

[code]


My geeqie.desktop looks now like this:

[code]
#!/usr/bin/
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Name=Videos Starten
Categories=X-Geeqie
MimeType=image/mov;image/mp4
Exec=Exec=/usr/bin/vlc

But in Geeqie I cannot find anything.
I am not even sure if this works for movies/films

To start an application with a " your app".desktop, it has to look like that one for audacious.
The entries behind MimeType=.... are important
But geegie is  an app for slide shows and pictures, not for movies.

I will try that example tomorrow.
its true, taht its an app for Fotos (stupid, since every mobilephone and every Digicam makes videos... so it seems like an sartificial seperation to me), but I also do not expect that it shows videos, only that it starts them in vlc.

I do not know, whta is wrong, but I cannot make it work:

Code: [Select]
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Audacious
GenericName=Music Player
Comment=Listen to music
Icon=vlc
Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;Player;GTK;
Exec=vlc %U
TryExec=vlc
Terminal=false
MimeType=application/ogg;application/x-cue;application/x-ogg;application/xspf+xml;audio/midi;audio/mp3;audio/mp4;audio/mpeg;audio/mpegurl;audio/ogg;audio/prs.sid;audio/x-flac;audio/x-it;audio/x-mod;audio/x-mp3;audio/x-mpeg;audio/x-mpegurl;audio/x-ms-asx;audio/x-ms-wma;audio/x-musepack;audio/x-s3m;audio/x-scpls;audio/x-stm;audio/x-vorbis+ogg;audio/x-wav;audio/x-xm;inode/directory;x-content/audio-cdda;

vlc is not appearing in Geeqie.

So I tried to create a geeqie.desktop within geeqie: Edit external Editors:

Code: [Select]
[Desktop Entry]
Name=vlc
GenericName=vlc
X-GNOME-FullName=vlc

Version=1.0

Type=Application
Categories=Graphics;Photography;GTK;

Exec=/usr/bin/vlc %U
TryExec=/usr/bin/vlc
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true

MimeType=application/ogg;application/x-cue;application/x-ogg;application/xspf+xml;audio/midi;audio/mp3;audio/mp4;audio/mpeg;audio/mpegurl;audio/ogg;audio/prs.sid;audio/x-flac;audio/x-it;audio/x-mod;audio/x-mp3;audio/x-mpeg;audio/x-mpegurl;audio/x-ms-asx;audio/x-ms-wma;audio/x-musepack;audio/x-s3m;audio/x-scpls;audio/x-stm;audio/x-vorbis+ogg;audio/x-wav;audio/x-xm;inode/directory;x-content/audio-cdda;

Icon=vlc

X-Unity-IconBackgroundColor=#252525

These are saved in ~/.config/geeqie/applications.

Same result, If i rightclick on a videofile (mp4) the vlc is not shown as an option. If so, I could maybe later create a shortcut..

Hi,
are you really sure, that you are using siduction and not ubuntu?? (quote!)
Geeqie maybe not the right choice > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=geeqie;dist=unstable
Are you mp4 files working in vlc, if they are not in Geeqie??
Don`t understand why you want to open this files in Geeqie??
Maybe someone could help you in a better way than I, your created desktop.files are very extraordinary. ???

yepp, siduction.
The X-unity Backgroudcolour was inserted by geeqie I suppose.
if this is strange... i do not know, since I do not understand who it works.

Well, i already explained, that I have folders from one digicam or DSLR which contain videos and pictures. And nearly every other viewer can handle this for ages and it would be nice, if my prefered program could do it also :-)

what would you suggest as a good desktopfile?

There are a lot good desktop.files in /usr/share/applications !
Well, I would not handle it that way  with a desktopfile.
You can do that better in your mimeapps.list in /home/user/.config.
Give it a try.
See you ;)
