Thanks. Does it work natively for creation of
thumbnails (all of which
I've ever seen are WAY too big to paint on my own thumb) for DOC's and
PDF's?
Not that I've seen, unfortunately. I expect rendering those would
require format-specific renderers. It may be a project worth
attempting, or it may not ... I know Konqueror (the KDE file manager)
does PDF previews, but not DOC, so at least on-the-fly thumbnailing of
PDFs should be feasible. If someone wants to write it.
