Gnome dds preview?

[Vonor]

I used to browse the art files with konqueror regularly and konqueror would open the zips like folders and show a preview of the dds files. Now that I use gnome I'm kinda missing that feature. As I've heard on ubuntu it is possible to preview the dds files, but so far I couldn't figure how ubuntu does it.

Has anyone an idea about what package (or maybe just a useflag on gentoo?) I have to install to get the dds previews?

Well you could install kuickview anyway... you don't need to exclusively use gnome. I don't know of any gnome apps which can view them.

There's a gimp dds import plugin, but that's probably not exactly what you want.

[Vonor]

Well, installing kuickview requires me to install a lot of kde related dependencies, which am not willing to do for the one thing I need.

I know the gimp dds plugin, but thats not going to give me previews in nautilus either, is it?

I'll look further and if I figure how ubuntu does it I'll give it a shot and post it here. In the meanwhile, if any of you have any idas, please post them too.

I'm guessing you have already tried asking at irc.gnome.org port 6667

Well, I did on freenode in ##gnome

Anyways, thanks to weltall I now know that gimp stores thumbnails in ./.thumbnails from where nautilus also loads them.

Doesn't help much for on-the fly thumbnails, but for now I can live with it
