[odf-discuss] Anyway to generate thumbnails out of ODF

[Soren Roug]

On my computer Konqueror displays the thumbnails, but I happened to have 
an ODT file in the directory that was generated by a script. Every file 
after that one did not show as thumbnail, but with a default icon. As 
soon as I renamed it to xxxx.odt, the thumbnails appeared for the rest.

I assumed Kongi just uses the thumbnail embedded in the ODF file, but it 
shows thumbnails for some of the files that have none. Evidently there 
is a thumbnail generator and it doesn't call OOo to do it.
