Thumbnail creation

ROX-Filer can show a small preview of certain files in filer windows (turn on Display->Show Thumbnails). By default, it handles most common image types. These programs extend the range of file types that can be handled.

MagickThumbnail Adds thumbnail capability to ROX-Filer for all filetypes known to ImageMagick. This includes font preview (ttf and type1), PDFs, gnuplot files and more fancy things like that.

Newer version of MagickThumbnail (improved generating of thumbnails for .pdf .dvi .ps and .xcf files, and ability to set maximum file size for which thumbnail is generated) can be found here (fixed broken links).

VideoThumbnail ROX-Filer thumbnails for video files.
