+The thunar-thumbnailers project provides additional thumbnailers for use by
+the Thunar file manager. Thumbnailers are little utilities that run in the
+background to generate previews for certain file types.
+
+After installing this package, each user will need to execute the following
+command:
+ /usr/libexec/thunar-vfs-update-thumbnailers-cache-1
+
+Optional dependencies are dcraw (for raw image support) and ffmpegthumbnailer
+(for video file support). Both dcraw and ffmpegthumbnailer are available at
+SlackBuilds.org. If you wish to enable support for either or both of these,
+you will need to edit the build script to do so - the required lines are
+commented out. If you choose to compile with dcraw (--enable-raw), you'll also
+need raw-thumbnailer, for which a script is present at slackbuilds.org.
