Usage of this function is threadsafe.

`factory` : | a GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory
`thumbnail` : | the thumbnail as a pixbuf
`uri` : | the uri of a file
`original_mtime` : | the modification time of the original file

Since 2.2

### gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_create_failed_thumbnail ()

    void                gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_create_failed_thumbnail

Creates a failed thumbnail for the file so that we don't try to re-thumbnail the file later.

Usage of this function is threadsafe.

`factory` : | a GnomeDesktopThumbnailFactory
`uri` : | the uri of a file
`mtime` : | the modification time of the file

Since 2.2

### gnome_desktop_thumbnail_has_uri ()

    char *              gnome_desktop_thumbnail_md5         (const char *uri);

### Warning

`gnome_desktop_thumbnail_md5` has been deprecated since version 2.22 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use GChecksum instead
