This package provides a generic org.freedesktop.thumbnails.Thumbnailer1 interface, providing programs with the ability to generate thumbnails. I've been using this, without thunar, with the following glib and gtk3 patches: https://gist.github.com/Dudemanguy/d199759b46a79782cc1b301649dec8a5 https://gist.github.com/Dudemanguy/c172394e30e1e7d0f477ad15c719bc71 This thumbnailer, specifically version 0.2.9, has been working just fine with this setup for months.
I believe meant to say to remove the dependency rather "doesn't depend". And I agree, this package builds and works fine without thunar, it's an independent dbus service. I've used it for a similar purpose without thunar in the past not that I've been bothering anymore.
