So the problem is as follows:

I downloaded a certain number of Djvu books. When I open the location in Thunar, no thumbnail is shown. "Show thumbnails" option in Desktop Settings is enabled. PDF files are previewed correctly, and in /usr/share/evince-thumbnailer/ image/vnd.djvuexists as an option. I tried adding additional types of djvu mime codes to the thumbnailer desktop file but no work! Tried to manually run evince-thumbnailer $i $o on a file gave the correct output. I also tried to get the available ARCH extension which is alike the mentioned evice-thumbnailer command (almost exact).

If you need any additional information, I would like to solve this since on all 4 machines I use Xfce.

You can use Nautilus instead of Thunar to preview DJVU thumbnails in Xubuntu. Nautilus provides roughly the same functionality set as Thunar, and should work without issues under Xfce.

If however you absolutely want to use Thunar for this, then you should check whether you have tumbler installed.

  • Using Nautilus is not an option. On the other side I have tumbler installed, with the default configuration. – Borivoje Petrovic Mar 13 '14 at 17:33
  • Then it is quite possible that this is a bug in Tumbler, and it should be reported at https://bugzilla.xfce.org/ . – landroni Mar 14 '14 at 08:13
  • If you check the [tumbler roadmap](http://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.10/roadmap/tumbler), you will notice that it doesn't talk of either `djvu` or `evince-thumbnailer`. Also, see this relevant thread on the forums that yielded no answers: [Thunar (tumbler) djvu support ?](http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2166438). – landroni Mar 14 '14 at 08:20
