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 this last one could have the tryexec and exec parameters commented so it can be more easily activated by users.
