Description:

Plugin for KDE file managers (Dolphin and Konqueror) to preview cover arts embedded in Audio (MP3, FLAC) file tags as Thumbnails.
Tested with KDE4.3. Needs taglib(-devel) and flac++(-devel) for compiling.
If you want add images to your audio files, you can use Kid3 (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Kid3?content=10415).

Hi,

I've ran into the same issue on Debian Stable (KDE) and managed to solve it by installing the following package: kdelibs5-dev

I don't know what GUI front-end Kubuntu uses to install packages, but the easiest is probably in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install kdelibs5-dev

After this, just try again building it...

Hope that helps,

Cheers

It would be much easier to install *.deb of this program. ;-)

I discovered today that I can't preview FLAC files with AudioThumbs. I made sure I have all the FLAC dependencies and to the best I can tell I have them all, and when I rebuilt the file from a fresh extraction from the tarball I didn't get any errors, but I can't preview FLAC files like I can for MP3s and OGGs.

I recently rebuilt my LMDE + KDE laptop and tried to install this again but ran into a brick wall looking for taglib-extras-dev. After a mess of searching I discovered there's now a package in the Linux Mint Debian Edition repos called libtag-extras-dev which allowed me to install AudioThumbs. If anyone else has a problem with dependency hell like I did try looking for the alternate package name.

In my opinion filetype icon should be less transparent. Now it's hard to differ an audio file from the cover image file.

I agree a slicker border would be great :)
Anyways, thanks for caring about this, something Dolphin devs already should have taken care of *cof*

It would be great, if you added support for cover art embedded in ogg files, as kid3 is now able to write them (in svn)

Thanks :D

Thank you for this wonderful enhancement to KDE4.

It is people like you that make KDE what it is: the world's most advanced platform (not desktop environment anymore (: )

Now, i only have a suggestion: Is it possible to make shadows arround the music previews (something like the picture previews)?

That would be great if we could differentiate music from pictures (except the shade around). Adding a cdbox a la avatar-factory e.g.
That wouldn't be the best idea though.

Thanks anyway!
