works fine ! great job ! thanks a lot

Works for me with cbr-files but not with cbt. By cbt I mean .tar with changed extension, no compressing. I've compiled just yesterday, so I think it's newest version.

Sorry, overlooked the application/x-tar type. Fixed now, redownload the update and build and all types of tar must work under KDE (tar, compressed tar, gz, and bz2).

"and all types of tar must work under KDE (tar, compressed tar, gz, and bz2)." - But xz not work!

Just compiled again. Works perfectly now.
Many thanks!

Have applied for a review for entry into 4.4 (Can't do 4.3, new Translation Strings).

You can view the reviewboard entry here:
http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/1983/

Have also improved the source a bit. Will put up a new download soon.

happy to hear the news :)

Am sad cause I'll be missing the great user comments here after 4.4 :(

(Karmic Koala 9.10, Kde 4.3.2, x64)

Ugh, bad link tag.

Fixed link: http://bitbucket.org/qwertymaniac/comicbook-thumbnails/issue/1/cannot-compile-in-ubuntu-904-kde-432

Thanks,
I've added this two lines to CMakeList.txt:

add_definitions (${QT_DEFINITIONS} ${KDE4_DEFINITIONS})
include_directories (${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR} ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR} ${KDE4_INCLUDES})

and now everything works!

Install works, but there is no previewing.
The same afer redownloadnig Your file.

Sorry, i've forgot to enable preview for "Comic Book files" in Dolphin configuration.
Besides my testing .cbr file was too large - preview works after changing "Maximum file size" in preview configuration.

So, everything realy works. Thanks again!

I should put this in the README, forgot about it. One has to set the maximum file size to something around 40 MB. Wish there was a per-plugin setting for this though.

Hi,

Updated the download with a newer CMakeLists.txt file. Redownload and build - it should work.

Thanks to the anonymous user tip [url=http://bitbucket.org/qwertymaniac/comicbook-thumbnails/issue/1/cannot-compile-in-ubuntu-904-kde-432]here[/url].

Thank you for reporting this in, am new at CMake :)

Excellent work. Should be included in the next official release of KDE, 4.4.

Is there a specific process to get this done? :)

I do not know maybe you can start from here:

http://www.kde.org/getinvolved/
http://www.kde.org/getinvolved/development/

bye

Polish like this is why I love my KDE4 desktop. Most excellent work!

Thank you for the comment - KDE is indeed beautiful in all aspects :)

Thumbnailing fine with the Kubuntu 9.04 / KDE 4.2 and Kubuntu 9.10 (RC) / KDE 4.3.

Tested with the CBR and CBZ.

Thank you of a fine comicbook-thumbnailer.

You're welcome. Necessity (read: 500 unmanageable comic files) was the mother of this invention ;-)

Nice work! It works flawlessly here (admittedly I've only tried it on .cbr files), and makes it a lot easier to find the one I want.

Just a question though: is it normal that the properties window thinks the contents of the file is a RAR-archive??

Yes it is normal and its 'cause the .cbr (application/x-cbr MIME) is just a subtype of .rar (application/x-rar). They're just .rar files renamed and contain ordered image files :)

Glad to know that the plugin helped you! If you notice any bugs, do let me know :)

Here (KDE 4.3) the type is comic book archive.

The content is Zip/Rar archive.
