Thumbscrew Mailing List

Wow, almost a month since the last post. Many apologies! PyCon gave me huge amounts of energy to put back into Thumbscrew, but work has been incredibly hectic, and the house is nearing its own dénouement, so it’s been a little on the back burner.

This past week, though, I was able to make the time to hack on it a bit more. The next beta is almost here. All the prefs are back and accounted for (not using the UserDefaultsController just yet), and I’ve added a much-requested pref to determine the suffix to be used for thumbnails. It’s now using subprocesses to handle the busy work, and distributed events to communicate back to Thumbscrew.

In the process of just getting The Simplest Thing That Could Possibly Work™ working, I prevented using the background Thumbnailer as a viable standalone solution for people who wanted to script it. This isn’t a long-term situation, just needed it up and running in the now.

Since I get sporadic feedback, and many of the feature requests are duplicates, I created a mailing list for anyone interested in communicating their wishes, comments, bug reports, &c.

Alternately, you can send a message directly to:

Hope to see the users joining so we can find out where Thumbscrew needs to go.
