A KDE thumbnail generator for the CHM file format. It depends on CHMlib http://www.jedrea.com/chmlib/.
Since 0.2.1 release it works with KDE Frameworks 5, for KDE 4 just keep using 0.2 stable release.
Tested with a limited set of CHM files. It should work with standard compliant documents (http://www.nongnu.org/chmspec/latest/).
Once installed go to Configure Dolphin -> General -> Previews and select CHM documents.

(I also installed the epub thumbnailer recently, so some of these dependencies might not be relevant for this module, but I've added them just to be sure).
@caig:
Thanks again for another fantastic piece of work. But I really do hope that you can get this submitted to KDE/Kubuntu somehow.

I think chm is a format with a very limited use nowaday (some old documents, luckly, it's a mess).

I'm just an user who tries to learn, the code isn't good enough for a similar chance. But I like the idea, maybe in future i'll try to understand how the proposal process works :)

it makes sense to render this html as its thumbnail, doesn't it?

With the "older" Kubuntu (11.10) the mime type needs fixing. The last year Kubuntu model is using: application/x-chm i.e. chmthumbnail.desktop: "MimeType=application/vnd.ms-htmlhelp;application/x-chm;"
