Great!
Thanks 
But what is the bug?
Dunno yet 
But if I can make it happen, I can make it go away 
This was a previous post, I switched debug mode to 1 and I got this:
art_render_invoke: no image source given
art_render_invoke: no image source given
art_render_invoke: no image source given
art_render_invoke: no image source given
aterm: can't load font "8x10"

### DEBUG: name = ~
### DEBUG: res_name = rox-filer
### DEBUG: res_class_name = Rox-filer

### DEBUG: name = Mousepad
in my .xsession-errors file… What does the art render invoke mean? This is my FvwmThumbnail config:

I really want your module working because I like the eyecandy HELP
I’m not sure. It’s not a function I call, so I’m guessing that it’s an ImageMagick/PerlMagick function. Which makes me wonder if your version of ImageMagick downgraded on the reinstall. What version are you rinning, do you know?
synaptic tels me i’m running version 6:6.06.2-2.1ubuntu (imagemagick and perlmagick have the same version. I thought it ment I had 6.2.2 or something… but then I checked the version with \
$ convert -vThat told me I had ImageMagick version 6.0.6… so I’m going to reinstall ImageMagick and PerlMagick by compiling the tar files and not using Synaptic…
I just checked version 6.2.3-0 is the latest version, I’ll try it if it doesnt work i’m going to try 6.2.2… I’ll post the result
It seems 6.2.3 doesn’t work… compiling 6.2.2 now
That’s the one that I have installed. Times like this, I can see why the GraphicsMagick fork got launched…
This has nothing to do with FvwmThumbnail. That message is from a Gtk+ theme you are using. Is it SVG based?
I get the same message from my Gtk2 theme but have been too lazy to really work on it and I can never remember my account info at gnomelook.org so I have not been able to email the author and find out why that is. I seem to be the only one who gets that message using his particular them…but any way I digress.
The message is probably from Gtk not from FvwmThumbnail

I am having troubles again using FvwmThumbnail. I am sure that it is due to my configuration but I havn’t figured it out. I had been using this a while back and then stopped using it (I don’t remember why) and I lost my original config.
But how I want it to work is if I click on the button on the titlebar it will minimize and show a the icon on the desktop.
It is not doing that.
Here is what I have.

It is quite possible that it never worked that way but since I don’t remember how I had it set up, I don’t know.
Help! 
Well, I loaded your config and it seemed to work as expected.
I did notice your mouse binding takes an image, but it doesn’t do the iconification. So from what you describe it could be taking the image fine but since it never gets the iconize command, nothing seems to happen.
Nah, couldn’t be that simple.
Yes, it does make the thumnail of the window and replaces my mini icon with the thumbnail. I don’t know how to get the window to iconify to the desktop
If I put this in the FvwmThumbnail config *FvwmThumbnail: Command "Iconify" It becomes two step process. The snapshot is taken and then I have to click the window again to get it to iconify to the desktop. Where am i supposed to tell fvwm or this module to iconify so it goes to the desktop
You could write a function for your window button:
DestroyFunc FuncThumbnailAndIconify
AddToFunc FuncThumbnailAndIconify
- I SendToModule FvwmThumbnail Thumbnail $[w.id]
- I Iconify
Although that may have race condition problems. A Wait may help if so.
thanks, I think I understand now. My confusion was in thinking that the Module itself iconified the thumbnails to the desktop.
I still have another try to get this module working…

help!
Hi, I don’t know if the english is a bt difficult or what but I tryed the diferrent configuration of all this pages, and I can’t get the module work
I’ve copy the FvwmThumbnail to /home/blue/.fvwm/modules
In my config there are this:
[code]
AddToFunc StartFunction
- I Exec exec $[fvwm_root] $[fvwm_wallpaper]
- I Test (Restart) All (Iconic) Test (f $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png) WindowStyle IconOverride, Icon $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png
- I Module FvwmCommandS
- I Module FvwmProxy
- I Module FvwmAnimate
- I Module FvwmBacker
- I Module FvwmEvent
- I Module FvwmButtons macDock
- I Exec exec /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &
- I Module FvwmThumbnail # your module [/code]
And I’ve put the configuration that have been wroten in the first post:
[code]DestroyModuleConfig FvwmThumbnail: *
*FvwmThumbnail: Refresh 5
*FvwmThumbnail: Directory /home/nick/lab/fvwm_thumbs
*FvwmThumbnail: Class Pager, ScaleTo 27x27

*FvwmThumbnail: Class BigPager, Factor 0.166666x0.166666
AddToFunc StartFunction + I Module FvwmThumbnail[/code]
Well, I know that I’ve to set the name function to the minimize button window, but I don’t know who is the name. With the taviso config I have this
Mouse 1 2 A Close
Mouse 1 1 A Menu MenuFvwmWindowOps Nop
Mouse 1 6 A thumbnail
Mouse 1 4 A Maximize
And when I click on the minimize button window, work!
So if the module called FvwmThumbnail I think that the name of the funtion too, so I change the config like this
Mouse 1 2 A Close
Mouse 1 1 A Menu MenuFvwmWindowOps Nop
Mouse 1 6 A FvwmThumbnail
Mouse 1 4 A Maximize
But this doesn’t work.
On the other hand, I don’t know how to configure the pager to see the screenshots icons in the windows of pager
Thanks in advance! and sorry for my english
Where can I download that module, link in the original post is broken…
I fixed the link, it was a phpBB issue, apparently it considers all the links not starting with a protocol to be relative to the forum root…
Thanks, Dragon. I meant to get to it, but I was at work when I read saw it and forgot when I got home and… it’s been a busy month.
Anyway, thanks
This is fun!
I just downloaded it (ehem, one hour ago? it’s almost three now…) and played a little with it. Amazing!
I played a bit with the snippets from the “Efficient Thumbnails here” thread before, but now I wanted overlayed mini-icons together with the thumbnailed mini icons and could not get it right in pure fvwmese.
Your module had a little logic error in the overlay code which was easy to fix and I added an option “BigOverlay” that overlays the icon file instead of the minicon, but now that I’ve got it working, I prefer the mini icons.
I downloaded your module tonight, so I hope my patch will still work for you:

# process config data from fvwmIt’s nice that putting the code into module doesn’t slow fvwm down at all, however when I was playing with the imlib code posted elsewhere, I got the impression that it is much faster than xwd + libmagick. After all my puny athlon 550 is happy about spare cpu cycles. Maybe I’ll see what perl + imlib can do tomorrow.
Kind regards and good night
wow. thanks for that, I’ll merge that in once I’ve had a chance to wake up
As for imlib, I must have had a play with it at some point because I can remember coming to the same conclusion. The main reason I didn’t use the same approach was that people using thumbnails on Fvwm tend to have ImageMagik installed, if only because they start using taviso’s thumbnailing code, and I didn’t want anyone to have to install anything new.
I suppose the solution is to have a set of driver classes for the backend and use whichever one has support.
Hmmmm…
