ODT Preview

Post by Horst »

Hello Don, in the news to version 24.20.0305 you said:

* Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Category: Preview as Thumbnail:
Removed OpenOffice extensions .odt .ods .odp from the factory defaults. With the
recent version of OpenOffice there is a real preview, not just a thumbnail.

I don't find any news or article about this.
Does is mean it provides a real Explorer preview handler ?
Where did you find the info about it ?

I don't have any information. I installed the latest OO version and it worked. Not with every ODT file though. Did not investigate further.

That explaines why I didn't find anything about it.
The Word previewer for ODT is known and found on my system
but it doesn't work (may be it need a word installation).
The default in XY only displays a blank black page.

I wonder why some files work with both of these commands, and others don't:

Code: Select all

preview , p32, "{84F66100-FF7C-4FB4-B0C0-02CD7FB668FE}";
preview , p64, "{84F66100-FF7C-4FB4-B0C0-02CD7FB668FE}";

Both produce "Preview failed" for me

Not for me :(
I have Libre Office and changed the default ODT format to your setting.
Changed one ODT document and saved it.
Also made a new doument.
Still getting "Preview failed" for both tests
and a blank black preview using the preview pane.

I'm satisfied with Libre Office and use a button with Total Commander preview in XY.
This gives a perfect preview for all sort of Office files using the Oracle viewer technology.
