Following Germán’s post, I have the following Nautilus thumbnail wishlist (as observed in GNOME 2.14):
- Nautilus displays EXIF data in the properties of a photograph. It would be a good feature to rotate the thumbnail image (orientation) as required before caching it in ~/.thumbnails/. Same for Eye of GNOME too.. shows the EXIF info, but doesn’t use it to orient the image appropriately before displaying it. If you don’t understand what I mean, download a “portrait” sample photo (which appears rotated by 90 degrees in Firefox) from a digital camera website, and try opening it in GIMP 2.3.x or CVS and see what it does with it.
- Some Nautilus thumbnails have a border around them while others don’t. It seems like apps which create their own thumbnails for their image data (GIMP for XCF for example) save the raw thumbnail, where as Nautilus adds the border for thumbnails it creates. The end result is not consistent. A better approach would be to store thumbnails as-is and add the border before drawing it to the screen (would take slightly longer to display).
