Detailed Description

Creates and manages thumbnails.

Uses two worker threads to process thumbnail requests that are queued from the scanner and UI. One thread generates picture thumbs; the other video thumbs, which are delegated to previewgenerator and time-consuming. Both background threads are low-priority to avoid recording issues. Requests are handled by client-assigned priority so that UI display requests are serviced before background scanner requests. When images are removed, their thumbnails are also deleted (thumbnail cache is synchronised to database). Obsolete images are broadcast to enable clients to also cleanup/synchronise their caches.

Enumeration Type Documentation

ImageThumbPriority

enum ImageThumbPriority : std::int8_t

Priority of a thumbnail request.

First/lowest are handled before later/higher

Ordered to optimise perceived client performance, ie. pictures will be displayed before directories (4 thumbnails), then videos (slow to generate) are filled in last.

Enumerator
kUrgentPriority	Scanner request needed to complete a scan.
kPicRequestPriority	Client request to display an image thumbnail.
kDirRequestPriority	Client request to display a directory thumbnail.
kBackgroundPriority	Scanner background request.
