The more I look into this the more I think we shouldn't try and focus on making
N thumbnailers but instead create and support a better cross desktop thumbnail
system.
Gnome works by having a registry of mime types and then an executable line to
run that takes a file name in, a size and a filename out.
KDE code is running a binary that passes a filename in, a size gets a file out.
We just happen to have the one binary(kioslave) that in turn loads a plugin
than in turn loads a plugin.
Migrating KDE code to do the same thing as gnome in a way that doesn't change
any of the existing plugins would be absolutely doable, even within KF5.
That just leaves the task of a common format for storing the metadata...and
bam!
Then a 3rd party STL thumbnail author wouldn't target any particular desktop.
