Dear Maintainer,

On some of my testing systems, SVG thumbnails are no longer created.

The file "/usr/share/thumbnailers/librsvg.thumbnailer" calls on "/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer" which no longer exists.
Certainly linked to the transition to Glycin.

The order of calling thumbnailers from the "/usr/share/thumbnailers/" folder is not alphabetical, but linked to their registration in the ext4 inode and the Directory Hash Seed.
On some systems "glycin-svg.thumbnailer" is loaded before "librsvg.thumbnailer" and the SVG thumbnails are created. On other systems it is the opposite and thumbnails are not created.


Regards.

Hi,

While waiting for the file "/usr/share/thumbnailers/librsvg.thumbnailer"
to be deleted or fixed, I commented out all its contents so that
"/usr/share/thumbnailers/glycin-svg.thumbnailer" is used instead.


Regards.
