Re: Possible New FreeCAD Logo
Maybe OP is a lurking long-time user who loves FreeCAD and is moved to make it better. Or maybe OP is a design student trying to pad out a portfolio and score bragging points.

Re: Possible New FreeCAD Logo
I gotta ask. What's the deal with the logo? Is it a prestige thing? I don't mean to be critical and I encourage people to contribute in any way they wish. I'm just very curious why it's ALWAYS the friggin logo! I think that everyone has started opensource contributions with something that is "...

Re: Fix thumbnail preview on XDG Desktops (#4078)
yes, sorry. It is indeed located in "/usr/bin" "/usr/share/bin" is a traditional place for this sort of executables, but it's not used now. Maybe freecad-thumbnailer should always be placed there by the installer, as well as the mimetype definition and thumbnailer config, but thi...

This has a quite complete guide for thumbnail support in thunar: https://delightlylinux.wordpress.com/2018/01/04/thunar-not-showing-thumbnails/ The key pieces for using thumbnails in XDG desktop environments are: Registering the mime type...

PR #4080 - Reduce FreeCAD icon overlay size in thumbnails
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/4080
This change reduces to one fourth the app icon that gets overlayed on top of thumbnails. It can be still identified but doesn't cover so much the content image.

Re: Fix thumbnail preview on XDG Desktops (#4078)
The %s %i and %s parameters are filled by the file browser and have conventional meanings, so the first one is the desired thumbnail size, the second one the input file, and the third one the destination file.

The xml file is normally installed on your system under /usr/share/freecad/share/mime/pac...
