== Result list thumbnails and how to create them
|
|
|
|
Recoll will display thumbnails for the results if the images exist in the
|
|
standard location ('$HOME/.thumbnails' or '$HOME/.cache/thumbnails' depending
|
|
on the xdg version).
|
|
|
|
But it will not create thumbnails, mainly because it is very hard to do
|
|
portably.
|
|
|
|
Thumbnails are most commonly created when you visit a directory with your
|
|
file manager, but visiting the whole file tree just to create thumbnails is
|
|
a bit fastidious.
|
|
|
|
One simple trick to create thumbnails from the recoll GUI is to visit the
|
|
parent directory for a result by using the _Open parent document/folder_
|
|
entry in the right-click menu.
|
|
|
|
You can also find tools for the systematic creation of thumbnails for a
|
|
directory tree. Three such tools are discussed on this
|
|

|
|
|
|
Also please note that no thumbnails can currently be generated or displayed
|
|
for embedded documents (attachments, archive members, etc.).
