+Tumbler is a D-Bus service for applications to request thumbnails for
+various URI schemes and MIME types. It is an implementation of the
+thumbnail management D-Bus specification described on
+http://live.gnome.org/ThumbnailerSpec written in an object-oriented
+fashion using GLib and GObject. Its modular architecture makes it very
+flexible and useful in many situations. It provides plugin interfaces
+for extending the URI schemes and MIME types for which thumbnails can be
+generated as well as for replacing the storage backend that is used to
+store the thumbnails on disk. Tumbler's functionality can also be
+extended via specialized thumbnailer services implemented in accordance
+to the thumbnail management D-Bus specification.
