int thumbnail_util_extract	(	thumbnail_h	thumb,
		thumbnail_extracted_cb	callback,
		void *	user_data,
		char **	request_id
	)

Extracts the thumbnail for the given media, asynchronously.

Deprecated:: Deprecated since 5.0. Use thumbnail_util_extract_to_file() or thumbnail_util_extract_to_buffer() instead.

This function extracts the thumbnail for given media item and calls registered callback function for completion of extracting the thumbnail.
You can distinguish generated thumbnails by request_id. Therefore, the request_id must be maintained until the request is completed.
And the request_id is also used to cancel the request.

Since :: 2.4

Remarks:: The request_id should be released using free().
http://tizen.org/privilege/mediastorage is needed if input or output path are relevant to media storage.
http://tizen.org/privilege/externalstorage is needed if input or output path are relevant to external storage.
If you don't set the size, the thumbnail size will be set default size. Default size is 320x240.
Color space of the generated thumbnail is BGRA.
Since 3.0, http://tizen.org/privilege/content.write privilege is not required.

Parameters:

[in]	thumb	The thumbnail info handle
[in]	callback	The callback function to be invoked
[in]	user_data	The user data to be passed to the callback function
[out]	request_id	The request id for the thumbnail extraction request

Returns:: 0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Return values:

THUMBNAIL_UTIL_ERROR_NONE	Successful
THUMBNAIL_UTIL_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter
THUMBNAIL_UTIL_ERROR_PERMISSION_DENIED	Permission denied

Precondition:: Create a thumbnail info handle by calling thumbnail_util_create().
The content path that you want to generate thumbnail must be set by calling thumbnail_util_set_path().

Postcondition:: Thumbnail extraction result except canceled is provided by thumbnail_extracted_cb().

See also:: thumbnail_util_create(); thumbnail_util_set_path(); thumbnail_util_set_size(); thumbnail_extracted_cb(); thumbnail_util_cancel(); thumbnail_util_destroy()

int thumbnail_util_extract_to_buffer	(	const char *	path,
		unsigned int	width,
		unsigned int	height,
		unsigned char **	thumb_buffer,
		size_t *	thumb_size,
		unsigned int *	thumb_width,
		unsigned int *	thumb_height
	)

Extracts the thumbnail for the given media into a buffer, synchronously.

This function creates thumbnails from a given media file.
The generated thumbnail is returned as a raw data stream.

Since :: 5.0

Remarks:: http://tizen.org/privilege/mediastorage is needed if input or output path points to media storage.
http://tizen.org/privilege/externalstorage is needed if input or output path points to external storage.
The width and height of the thumbnail to be generated cannot exceed 2000.
The width and height of the thumbnail to be generated cannot exceed the original resolution.
In the case of video file, color space of the generated thumbnail is RGB.
In the case of image file, color space of the generated thumbnail is BGRA.
The thumb_buffer should be released using free(). Since 5.5, if the width and height of the thumbnail to be generated exceeds the original resolution, the value changes to the original resolution.
In order to maintain the ratio, the requested size and generated size may be different. (Modify based on short axis)

Parameters:

[in]	path	The path of the original media file
[in]	width	The width of the thumbnail
[in]	height	The height of the thumbnail

int thumbnail_util_extract_to_file	(	const char *	path,
		unsigned int	width,
		unsigned int	height,
		const char *	thumbnail_path
	)

Extracts the thumbnail for the given media into a file, synchronously.

This function creates thumbnail from a given media file.
The generated thumbnail is saved in the given thumbnail path.
The format of the thumbnail file is determined by the extension of the thumbnail path (e.g. path is input.jpg and thumbnail_path is thumbnail.png then thumbnail.png is encoded in the PNG format).
If the extension is missing or the format is not supported, the thumbnail is encoded in the same format as the given media (e.g. path is input.jpg and thumbnail_path is thumbnail.out then thumbnail.out is encoded in the JPEG format).
Supported image formats are as follows:

GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, WBMP
Video files only support JPEG format thumbnail.

Since :: 5.0

Remarks:: http://tizen.org/privilege/mediastorage is needed if input or output path points to media storage.
http://tizen.org/privilege/externalstorage is needed if input or output path points to external storage.
The width and height of the thumbnail to be generated cannot exceed 2000.
The width and height of the thumbnail to be generated cannot exceed the original resolution.
Since 5.5, if the width and height of the thumbnail to be generated exceeds the original resolution, the value changes to the original resolution.
In order to maintain the ratio, the requested size and generated size may be different. (Modify based on short axis)
If the parent directory of the thumbnail path to be generated does not exist, an error is returned.
