27

 * aspect:
29
    * have crop?

 * frame: edje file, group and swallow part to use when generating
36
   thumbnails
37
 * directory: directory where to save thumbnails
38
 * category: to be used as DIRECTORY/CATEGORY/md5.format
39

40
Path generation should provide the following:
41

42
 * If no path to save the thumbnail is specified, the following is used:
43
   * if CATEGORY, return ~/.thumbnail/CATEGORY/md5.format
44
   * else if size (128x128 or 256x256), format (png), aspect (keep
45
     aspect, no crop) and no frame matches, return
46
     ~/.thumbnail/{normal,large}/md5.png
47
   * else return WxH-FORMAT-[framed-]ASPECT
48

49
Client server provides the following:
50
 * multiple client support
51
 * per-client configuration, avoid exchanging parameters over and over
52
   again
53
 * per-client queue, when client disconnect (ie: dies), remove whole
54
   queue
55
 * all clients have same priority, so queue is mixed for processing
56
 * cancel thumb generation request
57
 * communication over (for now) dbus and (future) ecore-ipc and unix
58
   sockets
59
 * interface of client library is independent of the communication
