thud(1)

okay bestie, welcome to the thud(1) page from the General Commands Manual — this is the directory-thumbnail maker for GTK-based file browsers, and yes she’s iconic 💅✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

thud — Generate directory thumbnails for GTK-based file browsers from images inside them. That’s the whole name bit, and it’s giving “your folders deserve a glow-up” 🌸

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

the shape of the command is literally this, bestie — copy it exactly, no remixing:

thud [-s|--size] [-v|--verbose] [-h|--help] [-V|--version] <INPUT_DIRECTORY> <OUTPUT_FILE>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

thud is a thumbnailer that generates thumbnails for directories. The name stands for (thu)mbnail (d)irectory — like, the vibes are right there. It is written in Rust with no external library dependencies, which is lowkey a slay.

you can optionally configure it with a ~/.config/thud/config.toml — that’s the config file path, bestie, don’t lose it. By default, thud will create directory thumbnails for all directories that have a cover.{png,jpg}. You can configure how thud creates thumbnails with strategies — strategies are the whole vibe-check system here.

For an example config file, see: https://github.com/donovanglover/thud/blob/master/examples/config.toml

For a list of available strategies, see: https://github.com/donovanglover/thud/blob/master/src/strategy.rs

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay here’s the full menu, no skips, no “I’ll read it later” energy:

• -s, --size=INTEGER — thumbnail size. the manpage literally says [default: 128], so that’s the default, no cap.
• -v, --verbose — print what thud is doing. like a little commentary track for your thumbnail run 👀
• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with '-h'). yes, that’s literally what it says.
• -V, --version — print version. iconic.
• <INPUT_DIRECTORY> — directory to thumbnail.
• <OUTPUT_FILE> — where to save the output image.

⭐ VERSION ⭐

v0.3.1 — that’s the version, periodt 💅
