GSF-OFFICE-THUMBNAILER(1)

💖 GSF-OFFICE-THUMBNAILER 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for gsf-office-thumbnailer, section 1 of the GNOME manuals. yes the name is a whole mouthful, we're just gonna roll with it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gsf-office-thumbnailer — office files thumbnailer for the GNOME desktop. literally what it says on the tin, she makes lil baby pictures of your office docs 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gsf-office-thumbnailer [OPTIONS] infile outfile

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page is a brief lil rundown of the gsf-office-thumbnailer command. we're not writing a novel here, we're giving you the vibe.

gsf-office-thumbnailer is used internally by GNOME applications — nautilus, bestie, we're talking about nautilus — to generate thumbnails of several types of office application files. 🎀

and yeah, you can invoke it manually if you want, nobody's stopping you, live your truth. but realistically it gets invoked automatically by nautilus. she's a behind-the-scenes girlie. main character energy but off-screen. iykyk ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, so:

• single letter options start with a single dash (-)
• longer options start with two dashes (--)

classic. iconic. no notes. 🧚

💜 Main options

• -i, --input=filename — name of the file for which to create a thumbnail. the subject of the portrait, if you will 📸
• -o, --output=filename — name of the file in which to store the thumbnail. where the lil guy goes to live.
• -s, --size=N — size of thumbnail in pixels; the thumbnail will be at most N*N pixels large. so like, a ceiling, not a promise, okay? not me explaining math. it's N*N. that's the whole thing.

💖 Help options

• -?, --help — display a brief usage message. she's helpful! she's brief! she's everything 💅
