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

[Alexandro Colorado]

Just to clarify, I know this is not handled by OOo or the OpenDocument  
itself but rather by the file manager or a library. My question was  
more like if there was such a library/implementation (which there is  
according to the first response)

And the next question is what module/package/library enables this. I  
don't know much about filetype rendering implementation to pin-point  
the one for ODF.
