PDF File Thumbnail in Thunar is Blank

[vincentvega]

Linux Mint 13 xfce
Imagemagick version 8:6.6.9.7-5

I converted a jpg to pdf using the convert command with no special options. The result file opened fine and displayed fine as well. However the file icon/preview in thunar file manager is transparent. All other pdf files created with cups-pdf and other software are displayed with the thumbnail of the first page of the pdf file as the file icon. Im wondering why this pdf file icon is different and if there is anything I can do do have it display as expected.

Thanks

I do not think that IM makes thumbnails for file icons for image files as part of the convert process from one format to another.

But the IM developers would need to respond to get a proper answer.

Actually I think I know what is going on.

The following link describes that the thumbnail embedded in the pdf file may be broken causing the thumbnailer to display an empty icon.

This may be the issue. The solution might be to disable embedded thumbnails in the pdf file. Im not sure if/how that can be done.
