Ubuntu – How to make Nautilus display .psd thumbnails

nautilusphotoshopthumbnails

is it possible to make Nautilus display Photoshop .psd files thumbnails when viewing files in the list?

If yes, what are exact steps to make it happen. Had been searching this in google, no luck so far.

Thanks

Okay, found this one, and it worked for me with majority of .psd files:

#!/bin/bash

# -----------------------------------------------------------
# -- Write psdthumbnailer
# -----------------------------------------------------------
OUTFILE=/usr/lib/psdthumbnailer
(
sudo cat <<'EOF'
# bin/bash

# Arguments / Parameters %i %o %s
f_in=$1
f_out=$2
f_size=$3

# Execute Convert PSD to PNG through ImageMagick
exec convert "psd:$f_in[0]" -scale "$f_sizex$f_size" "png:$f_out"

EOF
) > $OUTFILE
# -----------------------------------------------------------
# -- Write photoshop.thumbnailer
# -----------------------------------------------------------
OUTFILE=/usr/share/thumbnailers/photoshop.thumbnailer
(
sudo cat <<'EOF'
# bin/bash
[Thumbnailer Entry]
TryExec=/usr/lib/psdthumbnailer
Exec=/usr/lib/psdthumbnailer %i %o %s
MimeType=image/vnd.adobe.photoshop; image/x-photoshop; image/x-psd;
EOF
) > $OUTFILE
# -----------------------------------------------------------
# -- Set File Permissions
# -----------------------------------------------------------
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/lib/psdthumbnailer
sudo chmod 0644 /usr/share/thumbnailers/photoshop.thumbnailer

# -----------------------------------------------------------
# -- Add GConf Hooks to parse thumbnails
# -----------------------------------------------------------
sudo gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/image@vnd.adobe.photoshop/enable --type bool true

sudo gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/image@vnd.adobe.photoshop/command --type string "/usr/lib/psdthumbnailer %i %o %s %i %o %s"

# -----------------------------------------------------------
# -- Install Dependencies
# -----------------------------------------------------------

sudo apt-get install imagemagick
