		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.

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

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().

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.
