5.2 beta 2 thumbnails not showing

[emyoulation]

Making certain I correctly followed your suggestions below, added the print line to imagethumb.py
But running the Gramps console generated ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the console when executing the addon Tools → Utilities → Thumbnail Generator… on a freshly imported example.gramps with the media path preferences reset to the appropriate folder.

So I didn’t follow your instructions correctly (I put in 2 print statements in case the if criteria wasn’t true) or the “if mime_type:” wasn’t called

class ImageThumb(Thumbnailer):
    def is_supported(self, mime_type):
        if mime_type:
            print (mime_type)
            return mime_type.startswith("image")
        else:
            print (mime_type)
            return False

Do you see any messages in the console?

Try putting a debug statement in the image thumbnailer to check that it is being called.

@Nick-Hall

The file gramps/plugins/thumbnailer/imagethumb.py contains the thumbnailer. Try putting a couple of debug statements in it to see if it is being called.

The is_supported() method is called to see if a particular mime type is supported by the thumbnailer. If you add print (mime_type) you should see some files which start with “image”.

The run() method is called to actually run the thumbnailer. If you put a print statement in there you should see it output for every file.

If the output directory was read-only you should have seen error messages on the console
