Thumbnail not working with Cura 5.0

[HaseoWeasel]

Just wanted to give a heads up, the code for thumbnails doesn't work with Cura 5.0, I have Tried to edit the default code to make jpg instead of the default png. The main thing I see different is PyQt6.QtCore where urs is PyQt5.QtCore. I have updated my screen firmware I have a 3S1 DACAI, I installed Giadej private firmware. Not saying I didn't do something wrong lol it is possible its on my end

The current script doesn't support Cura beta version.

Oops I ment I have a DWIN I know for sure my screen was one that could use the thumbnail feature.

From a comment by Cassius Moura on Facebook:
Change:

from:

PyQt5.QtCore import QByteArray, QIODevice, QBuffer
and
thumbnail_buffer.open(QBuffer.ReadWrite)

to:

PyQt6.QtCore import QByteArray, QIODevice, QBuffer
and
thumbnail_buffer.open(QBuffer.OpenModeFlag.ReadWrite)

Until we release an official plugin you can use this only for Cura v5.0

I had tried this but it didn't work, so I could have dome something wrong somewhere

I use this code for Cura 5 beta, it creates a PNG.
I only use the Thumbnails in Octoprint, I'm not sure if PNG's also work on the display, you will need a JPEG.
Try to change the File Extension on thumbnail_image.save(thumbnail_buffer, "PNG"

Comment from the manager:
Sorry, I deleted the Cura PNG script because it can cause confusion

The DWIN screen firmware needs an image coded in base64 and JPEG format.
