# dissect.thumbcache
A Dissect module implementing parsers for the thumbcache of Windows systems.
This is commonly used to see which files were opened on a system.
For more information, please see [the documentation](https://docs.dissect.tools/en/latest/projects/dissect.thumbcache/index.html).
## Windows Vista+
The project currently only supports the Windows Vista+ indexed thumbcache. The Windows XP format is currently not implemented.
## Requirements
This project is part of the Dissect framework and requires Python.
Information on the supported Python versions can be found in the Getting Started section of [the documentation](https://docs.dissect.tools/en/latest/index.html#getting-started).
## Installation
`dissect.thumbcache` is available on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/dissect.thumbcache/).
```bash
pip install dissect.thumbcache
```
This module is also automatically installed if you install the `dissect` package.
## Build and test instructions
This project uses `tox` to build source and wheel distributions. Run the following command from the root folder to build
these:
```bash
tox -e build
```
The build artifacts can be found in the `dist/` directory.
`tox` is also used to run linting and unit tests in a self-contained environment. To run both linting and unit tests
using the default installed Python version, run:
```bash
tox
```
For a more elaborate explanation on how to build and test the project, please see [the
documentation](https://docs.dissect.tools/en/latest/contributing/tooling.html).
