Description

Desktop thumbnail requests can use this development build of Tumbler, the Xfce D-Bus service that generates thumbnails for file managers and applications. It helps desktops show previews for supported file types.

Use it as a background desktop service rather than a standalone app. Thumbnailers read user files to create previews, so plugin choice affects privacy and performance.
