Thumbnailers may already be installed in your system as dependencies of image/video applications but are not activated. | |||
Run <code>cd /run/current-system/sw/share/thumbnailers && ls</code> to list installed thumbnailers. If relevant .thumbnailer files are present and we still don't have thumbnails in our file explorer then we may need to activate them by updating symlinks to <code>share/thumbnailers</code> | |||
