Description Adam 2022-06-02 18:56:20 UTC

It seems that this problem can be solved by making a .thumbnailer entry (similar to a .desktop entry) in /usr/share/thumbnailers as described here:

Maybe the .thumbnailer entry should be included in a +gnome useflag for libwebp. It also might be worthwhile to do this with imagemagick as well, considering that it supports more file formats.
