Yes, good point. Btw. I see now they require 128x128 pixels in the standard, but OpenOffice still saves 181x256. And I don't get why they want to force an alpha channel. Probably because the Thumbnail Managing Standard does require it, which I don't get neither. Anyway, many of my ~/.thumbnails have no alpha channel. I guess standards only go so far. > My personnal opinion is that it's not up to programs (other than file > management), to manage ~/.thumbnail and that the way the gimp did it is just > a > work around and should not be generalized. I tend to agree, so this point shouldn't go into the OpenRaster specification. In the meantime it could still be the fastest way to get thumbnails working. > A bit off topic... > Looking at [1], I think the data directory should be only a recommendation, > since anyway all files are saved in stack.xml with a relative path from > stack.xml.
