Description

Does anyone here know of a file previewer that works well with the Preview plugin, running fman on Linux (Fedora/gnome)? I know of gnome-sushi, but it seems to need invoking via a dbus message, and I'm not sure how to do that.

Sorry this isn't exactly an fman issue so feel free to close.

Research direction

The issue mentions fman’s Preview plugin, Linux on Fedora/GNOME, gnome-sushi, and DBus, but names no source file, test, or entry point. First determine whether gnome-sushi can be invoked through the Preview plugin, then identify the fman integration point and define the expected preview behavior. Done means establishing a supported previewer path or documenting that no change belongs in fman.
