# Extensible File Thumbnails
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
When sending media, it is often helpful for users when a thumbnail can be shown before the
|
|
actual file is finished downloading.
|
|
|
|
XMPP already has a protocol for specifying thumbails, [Jingle Content Thumbnails](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0264.html).
|
|
However, this protocol requires that the thumbnail is a base64-encoded image published using
|
|
[Bits of Binary](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0231.html). This prevents clients from implementing newer technologies, such as
|
|
[Blurhash](https://github.com/woltapp/blurhash).
|
|
|
|
This document specifies are more general and extensible element for specifiying thumbnails in various formats.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<file-thumbnails xmlns="proto:urn:xmpp:eft:0">
|
|
<blurhash xmlns="proto:urn:xmpp:eft:blurhash">LEHV6nWB2yk8pyoJadR*.7kCMdnj</blurhash>
|
|
</file-thumbnails>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this example, the thumbnail contains only a blurhash thumbnail, indicated by the `<blurhash/>` element, but an implementation
|
|
may add more versions of the same thumbnail, i.e. another `<base64-bob/>` element as a fallback if a client does not support
|
|
blurhash. To prevent confusion in the display of a thumbnail, all children of `<file-thumbnail />` must describe a thumbnail
|
|
for the same file.
|
|
|
|
### Thumbnail Types
|
|
#### Blurhash
|
|
|
|
If a sender includes a `<blurhash/>` inside the `<file-thumbnail/>` element, then it must be interpreted as
|
|
[Blurhash](https://github.com/woltapp/blurhash) data. As a sender, care must be taken to not make the Blurhash
|
|
thumbnail too big as to not loose the advantages of blurhash.
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<file-thumbails xmlns="proto:urn:xmpp:eft:0">
|
|
<blurhash xmlns="proto:urn:xmpp:eft:blurhash">LEHV6nWB2yk8pyoJadR*.7kCMdnj</blurhash>
|
|
</file-thumbnails>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Jingle Content Thumbnail Compatability
|
|
|
|
In order to enable a pseudo-interoperability with [Jingle Content Thumbnails](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0264.html), inclusion of a
|
|
`<thumbnail/>` element is allowed. This is to allow easy reuse of an already existent [Jingle Content Thumbnails](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0264.html)
|
|
implementation.
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<file-thumbails xmlns="proto:urn:xmpp:eft:0" type="base64-bob">
|
|
<thumbnail xmlns="urn:xmpp:thumbs:1" uri="cid:sha1+...@bob.xmpp.org" media-type="image/png" width="128" height="96" />
|
|
</file-thumbnails>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage Example with Stateless Inline Media Sharing
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This example is taken from [Stateless Inline Media Sharing](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0385.html) and modified for this protocol.

## Security Considerations
|
|
|
|
The same considerations apply as specified by [Jingle Content Thumbnails](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0264.html).
|
|
|
|
## Todo
|
|
|
|
- Change XML namespace from `proto:urn:xmpp:eft:0` to `urn:xmpp:eft:0` once accepted as an experimental XEP
|
|
|
|
## Changelog
|
|
### 0.1.0
|
|
|
|
- Remove the base64 thumbnail type
|
|
- Namespace all thumbnail types
|
|
- Remove the type attribute of <file-thumbnail/>
|
|
- Rename <file-thumbnail/> to <file-thumbnails/>
|
|
- Rename the namespace from file-thumbnails to eft
|
