No thumbs in thunar even with tumbler installed [SOLVED]

Hi all,

i recentely installed waldorf but i cant get thunar to display image thumbs.

I have tumbler package installed and i even upgraded it in its latest version (0.1.25-1+b1 atm)
but i still can't see image thumbs in thunar.

Any thoughts about what might be wrong?

Sorry for the obvious question, but do you have "show thumbnails" set in Edit/Preferences/Display?

(edit) I just checked my Waldorf install and it's working there; I did not install a new version of tumbler.

Hey, NP. I can't tell you how long I searched for a theme for geany to make it white on black like statler before I figured out it was a simple switch in the UI.

I don't know about video thumbs, sorry.

@pidsley

haha true. that inverted syntax was a pain in the ass for me too until i figured out where that setting
was. and i have to abandon it since the 1x version cause of this super bad default coloring.
now i use the vibrant ink color scheme.

Do you have ffmpegthumbnailer and libffmpegthumbnailer4 installed?  I'm not sure about Waldorf/Wheezy/Testing, but in Statler/Squeeze/Stable you need these for video thumbnails to be displayed in Thunar.

There may be a few formats, e.g. RealMedia, that still don't show...
