183 * @class ThumbnailCreator thumbnailcreator.h <KIO/ThumbnailCreator>
184 *
185 * Base class for thumbnail generator plugins.
186 *
187 * KIO::PreviewJob, via the "thumbnail" KIO worker, uses instances of this class
188 * to generate the thumbnail previews.
189 *
190 * To add support for a new document type, subclass KIO::ThumbnailCreator and implement
191 * create() to generate a thumbnail for a given path.
192 *
193 * Compile your ThumbCreator as a plugin; for example, the relevant CMake code
194 * for a thumbnailer for the "foo" filetype might look like
195 * \code
196 * kcoreaddons_add_plugin(foothumbnail SOURCES foothumbnail.cpp INSTALL_NAMESPACE "kf6/thumbcreator")
197 * target_link_libraries(foothumbnail PRIVATE KF5::KIOGui)
198 * \endcode
199 *
200 * You also need a JSON file containing the metadata:
201 * \code
202 * {
203 * "CacheThumbnail": true,
204 * "KPlugin": {
205 * "MimeTypes": [
206 * "image/x-foo"
207 * ],
208 * "Name": "Foo Documents"
209 * }
210 * }
211 * \endcode
212 *
213 * MIME types can also use
214 * simple wildcards, like
215 * \htmlonly "text/&#42;".\endhtmlonly\latexonly text/$\ast$.\endlatexonly
216 *
217 * If the thumbnail creation is cheap (such as text previews), you can set
218 * \code
219 * "CacheThumbnail": false
220 * \endcode
221 * in metadata to prevent your thumbnails from being cached on disk.
222 *
223 * You can also use the "ThumbnailerVersion" optional property in the .desktop
224 * file, like
225 * \code
226 * "ThumbnailerVersion": 5
227 * \endcode
228 * When this is incremented (or defined when it previously was not), all the
229 * previously-cached thumbnails for this creator will be discarded. You should
230 * increase the version if and only if old thumbnails need to be regenerated.
231 *
232 * @since 5.100
