show thumbnails next to torrents

[David Prieto]

Binary package hint: transmission

I have noticed that the Mac OS X version of Transmission shows a thumbnail next to each torrent. Could the GTK version do this, too? Either showing the Nautilus thumbnail for that file, or a generic icon for the file type.

[Charles Kerr (charlesk)]

I tried to do this back around Christmas, but it's literally impossible to access those icons in the current gtk+ API. It apparently will be possible when GIO is included in an upcoming release of glib.

Fix exists upstream, r7996.

Hi,

I just updated to 1.52 and the bug still exists. Is it going to be released?

[Hew (hew)]

I would expect it to be included with the next major release, 1.60. A wishlist feature such as this isn't appropriate for a point release.

[David Prieto (frandavid100-gmail)]

Thanks for the clarification, Hew.

Reverting the Ubuntu status to Triaged: fix is not yet here.
