is it possible to make Nautilus display Photoshop .psd files thumbnails when viewing files in the list?

If yes, what are exact steps to make it happen. Had been searching this in google, no luck so far.

Thanks

Okay, found this one, and it worked for me with majority of .psd files:

#!/bin/bash

# -----------------------------------------------------------
# -- Write psdthumbnailer
# -----------------------------------------------------------
OUTFILE=/usr/lib/psdthumbnailer
(
sudo cat <<'EOF'
# bin/bash

# Arguments / Parameters %i %o %s
f_in=$1
f_out=$2
f_size=$3

# Execute Convert PSD to PNG through ImageMagick
exec convert "psd:$f_in[0]" -scale "$f_sizex$f_size" "png:$f_out"

EOF
) > $OUTFILE
# -----------------------------------------------------------
# -- Write photoshop.thumbnailer
# -----------------------------------------------------------
OUTFILE=/usr/share/thumbnailers/photoshop.thumbnailer
(
sudo cat <<'EOF'
# bin/bash
[Thumbnailer Entry]
TryExec=/usr/lib/psdthumbnailer
Exec=/usr/lib/psdthumbnailer %i %o %s
MimeType=image/vnd.adobe.photoshop; image/x-photoshop; image/x-psd;
EOF
) > $OUTFILE
# -----------------------------------------------------------
# -- Set File Permissions
# -----------------------------------------------------------
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/lib/psdthumbnailer
sudo chmod 0644 /usr/share/thumbnailers/photoshop.thumbnailer

# -----------------------------------------------------------
# -- Add GConf Hooks to parse thumbnails
# -----------------------------------------------------------
sudo gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/image@vnd.adobe.photoshop/enable --type bool true

sudo gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/image@vnd.adobe.photoshop/command --type string "/usr/lib/psdthumbnailer %i %o %s %i %o %s"

# -----------------------------------------------------------
# -- Install Dependencies
# -----------------------------------------------------------

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

Executing all steps mentioned below didn't produce any results nor errors along the way. After a reboot, icons didn't generate for psd at all! This script however did the magic. So obviously something has been left out of initial description which is quiet crucial to make it work! – Maris Sep 7 '15 at 4:48

I wonder who marked this working solution for being deleted? isn't it about sharing what's working? – Maris Sep 7 '15 at 8:35
    
:) I raise my hand that was me. Yeah it's sharing knowledge. But links only are considered low quality answer because links may become broken sooner or later leaving this post worthless. see askubuntu.com/help/how-to-answer . Anyway, I was pretty sure you gonna edit it or make new one as this your question :D. Now, after edit you deserve +1. It's not personal, don't take it on me. :) – user.dz Sep 7 '15 at 9:01
