Hello Marcin, The reasons for the current solution are these:
1. If I remember correctly the previews that are now part of the document were planned but not really usable when I wrote the master page controls.
2. The previews in the template documents (from which the master pages are taken) look differently from the previews used in the master page controls. The former do not show the placeholder shapes on the master pages. That is because the previews in the documents are made for the first slide of the document not its master page.
3. Using a persistent cache for storing the previews has its own set of problems and, of course, has to be created from scratch.
4. The current solution has the advantage that previews for the template documents are created in the same way as the previews for master pages that are in use by the current document: just render the master pages in question.
None of the reasons above really prevents us from changing the current behavior (which I am not happy with either). The problem is not technical either. All of the technical problems mentioned above can be solved. The main problems are a) coming up with a good solution and convince people that it is better than the current state and b) get the time to apply that solution.
For me the time constraint is the most important but I would be happy to give technical advice to anyone who wants to work on this.
