[SOLVED] thunar is unable to display the thumbnail of the x11 cursor

RethLibc · 2025-04-26 06:30:30

os : arch linux
xfce 4.20
The optional dependency packages have all been installed, but the cursor image of x11 still does not display

I don't know if thunar doesn't support displaying x11 cursor images hmm

I'm not sure what type of image they are but it's likely because of a missing library. Maybe bitmap?

You can create custom desktop thumbnailer for them.

Install the packages "imagemagick" and "xcur2png"

Create the file /usr/share/thumbnailers/xcusrsor.thumbnailer with the following content:

[Thumbnailer Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=X-Thumbnailer
Name=Xcursor Thumbnailer
MimeType=image/x-xcursor;
Exec=/usr/local/bin/xcursorthumbs %i %o %s

Create the file /usr/local/bin/xcursorthumbs with the following content:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if TEMP=$(mktemp --directory --tmpdir tumbler-xcur-XXXXXX); then
	xcur2png -d $TEMP -q -c - $1 > /dev/null 2>&1	
	convert -thumbnail "$3" "$TEMP/*_000.png" "$2" &>/dev/null
	rm -rf $TEMP
fi

...and make the file executable.

Either log out and back in again, or kill both the thunar and tumblerd process to force a re-read of the new configurations.

@Toz Hello, the problem hasn't been solved yet，He still doesn't work
1. It seems that archlinux does not consider Tumbler as a dependency of xfce4, which means that my system does not have Tumbler installed，Then I installed Tumbler
2. It seems that it has less dependence：

resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

It seems that I have to update the system…

I think it should be caused by the failed startup of tumbler？

2. Those are optional dependencies. See: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/tumbler/.

3. Where is this error message from?

3. Where is this error message from?

This was an error reported by pacman, but I have solved it now

Thank you for your help！;)
