Research direction
Start by locating the xreader-thumbnailer entry point and the project's build or packaging configuration; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Check how the thumbnailer is currently installed, then verify that a separate package can install it without installing xreader while preserving PDF thumbnailing for Nemo.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
* Xreader version (xreader --version): xreader 3.2.2
* Distribution - (Mint 17.2, Arch, Fedora 25, etc...): elementary OS 6.1
Would it be possible to provide a package that installs xreader-thumbnailer but does not install xreader itself?
I am using Nemo on elementary OS 6.1 and therefore need a thumbnailer for PDF files. The xreader-thumbnailer is excellent and very fast but I do not want to install xreader because I already have a PDF reader installed.
A bit more background: elementary OS 6.1 comes with a Flatpak version of Evince (which works well), but therefore does not come with evince-thumbnailer. I could install Evince through apt and remove the Flatpak version but then I'd be using an older version and would rather not do that.
