Sorry I missed the process bit. To have the load in another process, use a pipe to send worker results back to the main process, and add the pipe to your gtk main loop as an event source.
You obviously can't use any gtk/glib stuff in your worker, you'd need to just make a .jpg, then do all the widget stuff in the main process, On 7 October 2012 12:34, Filip Lamparski <matka.pooha...@gmail.com> wrote: > I specifically want to avoid using GLib's threading machinery in order to > use multiprocessing, since later I want to add multithreading to the > thumbnail loading process itself in order to utilise multiple cores more > efficiently.
