I have a whole folder of photos I want to look at as thumbnails, and I'd like to do it by calling one of GNOME's native thumbnailers individually, namely totem-video-thumbnailer
or evince-thumbnailer
, and piping them through a backend (I hear gstreamer
is possible, but anything that allows me to manually call forth a whole foldersworth of thumbnails from the command line will do).

I have this polaroid.sh-Skript:
#!/bin/bash
#
# jpg-Dateien in Vorschau umwandeln.
#
montage -size 256x256 './*jpg' \
-thumbnail 128x128 \
-set caption '%t' \
-bordercolor AliceBlue \
-background grey20 \
-polaroid 0 \
-set label '' \
-background white \
-geometry +1+1 \
-tile 4x $1.html && firefox ./$1.html
Maybe you can adopt some ideas. The basic command montage
is in the ImageMagick package, which is easily installed:
apt-get install ImageMagick
