Tumbler PDF thumbnail borders

I upgraded tumbler from 0.1.30 to 0.1.31 and PDF thumbnails no longer get a black border.  Since my thunar background is white and most of my PDFs have white backgrounds, this makes the PDF thumbnails blend into the background.  Is there anyway to turn this border back on, apart from downgrading back to 0.1.30 as I have done?

Re: Tumbler PDF thumbnail borders

Hello and welcome.

If you have a look at the log of changes for tumbler between version 0.1.30 and 0.1.31, you'll see very little in the way of changes:
- translations
- a fix to the pixbuf thumbnailer that was reverted
- addition of a webm thumbnail
- some changes to the compilation of tumbler
- and a change for the location of the thumbnails
...there is nothing there to indicate a change to the pdf thumbnailer.

Downgrading tumbler on my arch system doesn't seem to bring the border back.

Out of curiosity, when you downgrade tumbler, is tumbler the only package that you downgrade or are there others that need to be downgraded as well.

Also, which distro are you using and which version of Thunar (Thunar has the code to draw a frame around the thumbnail).

I am a Gentoo stable user.  Currently I am using thunar-1.6.10.  Tumbler was the only package I downgraded to get back my old look.  I had to wipe my .thumbnails directory so the PDFs would be regenerated.  Did you do the same when you downgraded tumbler?

Okay. It was me. I'm seeing the same as you now. You need to kill the tumblerd process and thunar along with clearing out the thumbnail cache files (0.1.30 = ~/.thumbnails, 0.1.31=~/.cache/thumbnails) to get a clean system to test with.

Perhaps a bug report?
