Running the Application

Nailer takes 3 command line arguments. The first two are manadatory and the third is optional.
Nailer requires that MPlayer is installed

nailer [-v] input output [size] 

-v - enable verbose mode
input - is any video file that mplayer supports
output - is either the name of the png or jpeg file you want the output to go into
size - is the size in the X axis of the thumbnail you want to generate, 
	y axis is scaled with the same ratio as original image

nailer can be used to replace totem-video-thumbnailer and comes with the nautilus configuration file to do so.

Changes

0.4.3	Dec 14,2007 Build fixes
0.4.2	Nov 02,2007 Don't mark the nail as complete until mplayer is done writing to it
0.4.1	Oct 26,2007 Change the timeout from 2 to 15 seconds, useful for slow USB disks Cap max length, will check upto 600 seconds into file Remove -forceidx option, it slows it down Fix Segfault when id_length is not found Run mplayer in its own thread so that we can kill it if it takes to long
0.4.0	Oct 16,2007 Use PNM as intermediate format Default to png if no format can be determined Change scaling method to let mplayer do output, scale it, border it and then rescale. Old method was make mplayer scale it, border it and then rescale, may fix some video file issues Try 10 times to make a thumbnail, may solve the problem where the file says it is longer than it is
0.3	Oct 4,2007 Verbose option for debugging (-v) If size is invalid revert to 128 Build and packaging issues, should install on all distros clean now
0.2	Jun 20,2007 RPM Package and some minor updates
0.1	Jun 4,2007 First Release
