Thumbnail generation tool for `slcl`

This directory defines a separation application to be used in conjunction with slcl, aimed to update the thumbnail database automatically whenever files are added/removed to/from the database.

Root permissions

This application requires no root permissions. So, in order to avoid the risk for security bugs, please do not run this application as root.

Requirements

A POSIX environment.
dynstr (provided as a git submodule).
MagickCore
CMake (optional).

Ubuntu / Debian

Mandatory packages

sudo apt install build-essential libmagickcore-6.q16-dev

Optional packages

sudo apt install cmake

How to use

Build

Similarly to slcl, two build environments are provided - feel free to choose any of them:

A mostly POSIX-compliant Makefile.
A CMakeLists.txt.

thumbnail can be built using the standard build process:

Make

$ make

CMake

$ mkdir build/
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build .

Usage

This tool only consumes one argument: the directory containing the instance database, which must be the same used by slcl. For example:

thumbnail ~/my-db
