    typedef enum {
      GNOME_DESKTOP_THUMBNAIL_SIZE_NORMAL,
      GNOME_DESKTOP_THUMBNAIL_SIZE_LARGE
    } GnomeDesktopThumbnailSize;

### gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_new ()

    GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory * gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_new
                                                            (GnomeDesktopThumbnailSize size);

Creates a new GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory.

This function must be called on the main thread.

`size` : | The thumbnail size to use
Returns : | a new GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory

Since 2.2

### gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_lookup ()

    char *                  gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_lookup
                                                            (GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory *factory,
                                                             const char *uri,
                                                             time_t mtime);

Tries to locate an existing thumbnail for the file specified.

Usage of this function is threadsafe.

`factory` : | a GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory
`uri` : | the uri of a file
`mtime` : | the mtime of the file
Returns : | The absolute path of the thumbnail, or `NULL` if none exist.

Since 2.2

### gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_has_valid_failed_thumbnail ()

    gboolean            gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_has_valid_failed_thumbnail
                                                            (GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory *factory,

Tries to locate an failed thumbnail for the file specified. Writing and looking for failed thumbnails is important to avoid to try to thumbnail e.g. broken images several times.

Usage of this function is threadsafe.

`factory` : | a GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory
`uri` : | the uri of a file
`mtime` : | the mtime of the file
Returns : | TRUE if there is a failed thumbnail for the file.

Since 2.2

### gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_can_thumbnail ()

    gboolean            gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_can_thumbnail
                                                            (GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory *factory,
                                                             const char *uri,

Returns TRUE if this GnomeIconFactory can (at least try) to thumbnail this file. Thumbnails or files with failed thumbnails won't be thumbnailed.

Usage of this function is threadsafe.

`factory` : | a GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory
`uri` : | the uri of a file
`mime_type` : | the mime type of the file
`mtime` : | the mtime of the file
Returns : | TRUE if the file can be thumbnailed.

Since 2.2

### gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_generate_thumbnail ()

    GdkPixbuf *             gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_generate_thumbnail

`uri` : | the uri of a file
`mime_type` : | the mime type of the file
Returns : | thumbnail pixbuf if thumbnailing succeeded, `NULL` otherwise.

### gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_save_thumbnail ()

    void                gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_save_thumbnail
                                                            (GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory *factory,

Saves `thumbnail` at the right place. If the save fails a failed thumbnail is written.

Usage of this function is threadsafe.

`factory` : | a GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory
`thumbnail` : | the thumbnail as a pixbuf
`uri` : | the uri of a file
`original_mtime` : | the modification time of the original file

Since 2.2

### gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_create_failed_thumbnail ()

    void                gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_create_failed_thumbnail
                                                            (GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory *factory,

Creates a failed thumbnail for the file so that we don't try to re-thumbnail the file later.

Usage of this function is threadsafe.

`factory` : | a GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory
`uri` : | the uri of a file
`mtime` : | the modification time of the file
