eps thumbnails in Thunar 1.6.3

hi,
I try to find a workaround to show the thumbnails of my eps files.
I created a script named eps-thumbnailer (based on imagemagick) which convert my eps file to a png file with a specific size.
(like that :
http://stderr.org/doc/thunar-data/html/ … hunar.html
)
Then in /usr/share/thumbnailers/ I put a file named eps.thumbnailer containing :

[Thumbnailer Entry]
TryExec=convert
Exec=/usr/local/bin/eps-thumbnailer %i %o %s
MimeType=image/x-eps;

Unfortunately, nothing happens (even when I delete .cache/thumbnails).
Can someone tell me what I'm missing ?
Must be something with Tumbler, but I don't know how to tell him there's a new thumbnailer...
Thank you for reading

Re: eps thumbnails in Thunar 1.6.3

Those instructions are for an older version of Thunar, Tumbler now does the thumbnailing for Thunar. According to this thread, it looks like currently, you need to code thumbnailers from scratch (see the git tree entries for code for existing thumbnailers).

You can also create a request for an eps thumbnailer at bugzilla.

Re: eps thumbnails in Thunar 1.6.3

ok, thanks a lot for your answer.
coding will be too hard for me, I'll have to wait... (or to go back to Nautilus)
Thanks again.
