Creating Thumbnails: MPlayer (Videos), dcraw and ImageMagick in a Bash script (1)
This Bash script also renders a thumbnail of video files.
JPhotoTagger reads Video files only, if their extensions
added as User Defined File Types
(Menu Window
).
- If not installed, download and install dcraw, ImageMagick and MPlayer
- Use this File as template, add executable privileges
- Fix paths
- Open: Edit > Settings > Thumbnails
- Check Create thumbnails with own external program
- Write into the text field under External image creation application:
"Path_to_Bash_file" "%s" %i
where"Path_to_Bash_file"
is something like"/home/me/scripts/jphototagger_thumbnails.sh"
(the folder path where the Bash file is stored is included the Bash script's file name)
