Issue: Nautilus (Gnome Files 3.38.1) - pdf thumbnails not visible

[rickytower]

Using Nautilus I discovered that pdf thumbanils are not visible on Fedora Silverblue. This happens both on Xorg and Wayland sessions.

Here's a file reporting my Nautilus settings:
nautilus-state.txt

I guess this is fallout from not shipping evince rpm that includes evince thumbnailer. I don't know if thumbnailers are supposed to work through flatpak (we preinstall evince flatpak on silverblue so it should be there but sounds like it's not working).

[felipeborges]

We could split the Evince thumbnailers into its own package. It seems to be what Debian does.

[kalev]

That sounds like a good plan to get things working for now.

That's probably the best plan.

For now we went with splitting evince-thumbnailer into its own package https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/evince/c/bca6820f136b06c48c7fed99023f6f1dec902b1c?branch=master

Made https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config/c/80951707331b9a14649fe2f6005a1ce32e787d74?branch=master and https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config/c/80951707331b9a14649fe2f6005a1ce32e787d74?branch=f33 for rawhide and F33. Should be part of today's compose.
