Is there any thumbs.db type cache file of thumbnails created by nautilus..
If yes then is possible to read it as an image stream or something. Thanks

cool that really solved a part of the problem!!! but is there anyway of
figuring out which thumbnail is for which file.. coz they have strange long
names.. and ya one more thing .. when are these thumbnails generated when i
open nautilus and go to a particular directory or does it work in sum other
way,
thanks

Hi,
Strange names are generated randomly and I think there is no way to
assign a name to it (except manually :-)).
When you open any folder (ie image folder) and see the view as icon,
it stores thumbnil (if applicable) to .thumbnils

what i mean is can i know by the this seemingly random name.. to which file
does this icon(thumbnail) belong ... surely there will be someway..
otherwise it will have to generate em again and again everytime a view a
folder which isnt very efficient...

i think thats .thumbnails (no offence just for the one who searches the
archives :-) )

I think best way is to look at code of nautilus - how it handles the
thumbnails!!

Yeah!

Problem solved!!! used.. totem-video-thumbnailer (comes along with totem
player) easiest of syntaxes..
$totem-thumbnail-maker input-file output-file
actually that was suggested by anurag in an earlier thread.. but i had
trouble installing it... as one dependency after another kept coming up..
then i decided to configure apt-get as that was the only hope.. and found(
www.oldos.org) a step-by-step for rh9 and also some source addresses to be
put in source.list...... well after upgrade and dist-upgrade using apt-get..
i had to do this
$apt-get install totem
and relax.. it resolved dependencies.. did everything... worked like a dream
and since then i have found a solid answer to all installation woes.. This
for me was the biggest issue on.linux.. but i guess this is only an issue
for ppl who have not used apt-get(or something similiar)
I think i should stop singing praises now..
thanks,
puneet
final word
apt-get rocks!!!!! :-)

I'm not overly experienced with either of the systems but I've found
that apt-get works with CDs/DVDs out of the box while I've never used
YUM with my fedora CDs.
