Before I upgraded to Maverick, .swf files used to have a thumbnail in Nautilus.
However, Nautilus doesn't generate thumbnails for them anymore, even after removing ~/.thumbnails/
, which most likely indicates that a package is missing.
How do I get Nautilus to generate thumbnails for .swf files?
EDIT: I've added a bounty, as I believe this question might still be answered…

There is a way of getting this done explained in the Floorplanner Tech Blog. To compile dump-gnash on a fresh Maverick you'll need
And then you just follow the steps. This will take a long time.
NOTE: For Step 7 use the following script instead:
Once you have the final script running you just hook it into gconf-editor
Then restart (or restart gnome-settings-daemon), and you've got swf thumbs!
P.S.: This is a huge hack. A better way to do this would be vastly appreciated.
