ebook-thumbnailer is a Python script which generates thumbnails for some common ebook formats.
The package also includes the needed schemas to be integrated with GNOME 3 Desktop but it should easily work with any other desktop enviroment.
Current supported formats are:
- .fb2 - .epub - .pdf - .mobi, .prc, .azw, .azw4 - .chm
Note that, as mobi_unpack is not usually provided by your OS, download it from MobileRead copy to your system and change line #160 in the script. Search MOBI section in source for more information.
You could even use PIL/Imaging instead of pygtk to create the image files. Code is already there, just comment/uncomment the proper lines in function create_thumb.
Download the file, copy binary and thumbnailers definition:
cp ebook-thumbnailer.py /usr/local/bin cp {chm,epub,fb2,mobi}.thumbnailer /usr/share/thumbnailers
optionally (not needed as evince - GNOME default pdf viewer - already can create thumbs for .pdf files):
cp pdf.thumbnailer /usr/share/thumbnailers
and restart nautilus.
Remember the extra step for mobi ebooks.
