- yapf_encode() / yapf_free_buffer(): encode to memory; yapf_save uses it - yapf.c also compiles as C++ - `yapf compare`: size and decode speed of the original format vs YAPF, with a lossless check - bindings with tested examples: C++ (header-only), C# (P/Invoke), Rust (crate, builds the C code), Go (cgo), Java (FFM API, Java 22+), Zig (@cImport), LuaJIT (FFI), TypeScript types for the JS port; Python now encodes in memory - docs/LANGUAGES.md and examples/ with measured results - KDE Dolphin thumbnail plugin (KF6, CMake) - README: honest status for Photoshop / VS Code / Figma (not run in the apps yet) and macOS (cross-compiled only), platform table Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

YAPF thumbnails for KDE (Dolphin)
Shows previews of .yapf files in Dolphin, the KDE file dialogs and
anything else that uses KIO thumbnails. KDE Frameworks 6 / Plasma 6.
Files with mipmaps are thumbnailed from the nearest mip level, so even huge
textures preview instantly.
Build and install
You need CMake, a C/C++ compiler and the KDE development packages:
| System | Packages |
|---|---|
| Arch / Manjaro | sudo pacman -S cmake extra-cmake-modules kio |
| Debian / Ubuntu | sudo apt install cmake extra-cmake-modules libkf6kio-dev qt6-base-dev |
| Fedora | sudo dnf install cmake extra-cmake-modules kf6-kio-devel qt6-qtbase-devel |
| openSUSE | sudo zypper install cmake kf6-extra-cmake-modules kf6-kio-devel qt6-base-devel |
| NixOS | nix-shell kde-shell.nix (in this folder) |
cd extensions/kde
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
cmake --build build
sudo cmake --install build
update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
This installs the plugin (kf6/thumbcreator/yapfthumbnail.so) and the
image/x-yapf file type. Then in Dolphin: Settings → Configure Dolphin →
Interface → Previews, tick YAPF Images, and turn previews on.
Without root (per user, also NixOS)
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local
cmake --build build && cmake --install build
update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime
mkdir -p ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env
echo 'export QT_PLUGIN_PATH="$HOME/.local/lib/plugins:$QT_PLUGIN_PATH"' > ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/yapf.sh
Log out and back in, then enable YAPF Images in Dolphin's preview settings.
(Some distributions use lib64/plugins or lib/qt6/plugins; cmake --install prints the exact folder.)
Status
Built against KF6 / Qt 6 and tested by loading the plugin through KDE's plugin factory and creating thumbnails (RGBA, RGB, mipmapped, wide images; corrupt files are rejected). Not yet tried inside a running Dolphin.
