/**
* This is the baseclass for "thumbnail-plugins" in KDE. Using the class
* KIO::PreviewJob allows you to generate small images (thumbnails)
* for any kind of file, where a "ThumbCreator" is available. Have a look
* at kdebase/kioslave/thumbnail/ for existing ThumbCreators.
*
* What you need to do to create and register a ThumbCreator:
* @li Inherit from this class and reimplement the create() method to
* generate a thumbnail for the given file-path.
* @li Provide a factory method in your implementation file to instantiate
* your plugin, e.g.:
* \code
* extern "C"
* {
* ThumbCreator *new_creator()
* {
* return new YourThumbCreator();
* }
* };
* \endcode
*
* Compile your ThumbCreator as a module. The contents of Makefile.am
* need to look like this:
* \code
* INCLUDES = $(all_includes)
* kde_module_LTLIBRARIES = yourthumbcreator.la
* yourthumbcreator_la_SOURCES = yourthumbcreator.cpp
* yourthumbcreator_la_LIBADD = $(LIB_KIO)
* yourthumbcreator_la_LDFLAGS = $(all_libraries) -module $(KDE_PLUGIN)
* kde_services_DATA = yourthumbcreator.desktop
* \endcode
*
* @li Create a file yourthumbcreator.desktop with the following contents:
* \code
* [Desktop Entry]
* Encoding=UTF-8
* Type=Service
* Name=Name of the type of files your ThumbCreator supports
* ServiceTypes=ThumbCreator
* MimeTypes=application/x-somemimetype
* CacheThumbnail=true
* X-KDE-Library=yourthumbcreator
* \endcode
*
* You can supply a comma-separated list of mimetypes to the MimeTypes entry,
* naming all mimetypes your ThumbCreator supports. You can also use simple
* wildcards, like (where you see [slash], put a /)
* \code
* text[slash]* or image[slash]*.
* \endcode
*
* If your plugin is rather inexpensive (e.g. like the text preview ThumbCreator),
* you can set CacheThumbnail=false to prevent your thumbnails from being cached
* on disk.
*
* @short Baseclass for thumbnail-generating plugins.
