Bug ID: 163211
Summary: "Save preview image with this document" active by
default
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I prefer not having document previews for my LibreOffice documents. Updating to
LibreOffice 7.3.x with a Linux Mint 21.3 upgrade now has all of my documents
with a preview image of the file in my file manager (Thunar), which throws me
off when trying to find files by filetype/icon. I'm not keen on changing Thunar
settings, and wanted to report the suggestion I have for LibreOffice here, not
for other software solutions.
This affects me for LibreOffice Writer and Calc.
I'm not sure if LibreOffice was saving a preview in previous versions but not
showing it when loading.
My suggestion is to allow for a general/selectable default; I don't want to
have to clear this flag for all files I care about, but neither should someone
who wants previews.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a version of LibreOffice (6.x?) and
2. Create files (Writer, Calc).
3. Save these files with default settings, but check for ""Save preview image
with this document" setting
4. Upgrade to LibreOffice 7.3.x
Actual Results:
All existing documents have a new preview when previous versions did not show
the preview in my file manager.
Expected Results:
No preview for existing files created before LibreOffice 7.3.x
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Version: 7.3.7.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 30(Build:2)
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-CA (en_CA.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.7
Calc: threaded
I'm assuming this isn't related to the UserProfile.
