# thumbnail

Thumbnail/Preview generator for 450 different filetypes in python.

## Pre-requisites

This package has been thoroughly tested on Linux machines. If you're facing any issue post it on Github Issues.

thumbnail depends on unoconv.(Universal Office converter)

```bash
apt-get install unoconv
```

thumbnail depends of ffmpeg for audio or video files

```bash
apt-get install ffmpeg
```

thumbnail depends on Imagemagick for image manipulation

```bash
apt-get install imagemagick
```

thumbnail also needs curl to be installled

```bash
apt-get install curl
```

To install this package:

```bash
pip install thumbnail
```

## How to use

Sample code:

```python
from thumbnail import generate_thumbnail

// generate_thumbnail(input, output, options)

options = {
	'trim': False,
	'height': 300,
	'width': 300,
	'quality': 85,
	'type': 'thumbnail'
}
generate_thumbnail('sample.docx', './thumbnails/thumbnail.png', options)
```
  
    
You need to pass three parameters in generate_thumbnail function.

**input**: location of the input file. You can see the list of supported files at the end.

**output**: location of the to be generated thumbnail file. It can be .png, .jpg or .gif

**options**: It can have five diff parameters. If you don't want to pass any options, pass options as a blank {}

- trim: Boolean(default = True) 
It'll automatically trim your file.
- height: Integer(default = 300) 
Height of the thumbnail in px.
- width: Integer(default = 300) 
Width of the thumbnail in px.
- quality: Integer(default = 85) 
Quality of the thumbnail on a scale of 1-100.
- type: String(default = "thumbnail" 
It takes two values "thumbnail" or "firstpage" 
"thumbnail" = 300X300 image of the first page of the document. Height and Width can be changed by providing values in options 
"firstpage" = snapshot of the document's first page.  
  
## Common Issues

**ImageMagick no images defined:**

- Open /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml in the editor of your choice

```bash

<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />
```

- You can either comment it or change rights to "read | write"
- Reference: [https://askubuntu.com/questions/1181762/imagemagickconvert-im6-q16-no-images-defined](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1181762/imagemagickconvert-im6-q16-no-images-defined)

**unoconv: Cannot find a suitable pyuno library and python binary combination in /usr/lib/libreoffice:**

- Open /usr/bin/unoconv in the editor of your choice
- Replace #!/usr/bin/env python3 with #!/usr/bin/python3
- Reference: [https://github.com/unoconv/unoconv/issues/405](https://github.com/unoconv/unoconv/issues/405)  
  
  
This package is inspired from npm module filepreview.
