View own images thumbnails in pcmanfm

[David]

Hi. I use Arch with LXDE with miniatures view in pcmanfm. I can see small own images of pdf, png, svg and jpg files, it's a nice feature to find files in a quick view. However some other files are shown with the standard icon:

- eps images
- text files
- ogg (with embedded art)

That's what I seen on Arch - LXDE - pcmanfm:

That's what I see in anothe computer with ubuntu - unity - nautilus:

I would like to see all the thumbnails in pcmanfm. I'm not sure if it's a pcmanfm feature or if it depends on some packages I haven't installed in Arch.Any idea? Thanks.

Sorry for this late reply. I do not use Arch but PCManFM is still PCManFM. Open up your file manager and go to Edit->Preferences->Display. Increase the maximum size of authorized thumbnails and you should be good to go. I had to hunt for this one because some of my files were generating thumbnails and others were generic. By increasing the max size I now can view all thumbnails. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your answer, Rex. I'm afraid it's not a maximum size matter. I think that pcmanfm/libfm can't generate thumbnails of some classes of files, and there's nothing I can do unless I generate them with nautilus/totem.
