[Solved] Nautilus Thumbnails FIX!

Hello! I have been using for several days File Manager Nautilus/Files on frozen-testing Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (chimaera)

03:17 PM ~$ apt-cache policy nautilus
nautilus:
  Installed: 3.38.2-1
  Candidate: 3.38.2-1
  Version table:
 *** 3.38.2-1 500
        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I was having difficulty generating thumbnails on this FM. After some reading on the Internet noticed that a package for generating thumbnails was missing when i did the installation. The package libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin Fix this concern.

I think this package is essential to generate Thumbnails. Maintainer should set it part of nautilus installation. Thank you!

I hope this topic comes to helps.

Best Regards!

The nautilus package (in Ceres anyway) recommends libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin. Of course it makes sense that a graphical file manager would also provide the thumbnail feature, but it's not a strictly required function of such a tool.
