[SailfishDevel] mediagallery won't work

[christopher.lamb at thurweb.ch]

Hi Wim

Here is how to do it (the hard way):

1) In QtCreator/Sailfish/Manage Targets install the package  
gst-plugins-base-devel.
This will also add the package gstreamer-devel

(These dependencies are mentioned in the src.pro file).

2) Download and unzip the sources from  
https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-qml-plugin-thumbnailer

3) Open the project via the src.pro file and setup the project

4) Hit the green Run button (fingers in ears at this point).

5) If you get an error like ":-1: error: Failed to upload file  
'/Users/christopherlamb/SailfishProjects/nemo-qml-plugin-thumbnailer-master/src/libnemothumbnailer.so'." don't panic, we can work around  
that.

6) In your equivalent of  
/Users/christopherlamb/SailfishOS/mersdk/targets/SailfishOS-i486-x86/usr/lib/qt4/imports
add the subdirectories org/nemomobile/thumbnailer

7) In your project directory (under src) you will find a libnemothumbnailer.so
library and a qmldir file

Copy these into your n your equivalent of  
/Users/christopherlamb/SailfishOS/mersdk/targets/SailfishOS-i486-x86/usr/lib/qt4/imports/org/nemomobile/thumbnailer

8) Now in your MediaGallery / PreviwGrid.qml the import import  
org.nemomobile.thumbnailer 1.0 should no longer be underlined in red.  
(If it is try Tools/QML JS/Reset Code Model)

This is of course the "brew your own" route. Maybe the Thumbnailer  
Package can be directly installed.


I hope this helps

Chris
