Bug ID: 95095
Summary: LibreOffice should not generate thumbnail on load of a
document
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.1.2 release
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The thumbnails in the startcenter are nice, but they take quite a lot of time
to generate; 300ms and more, which is for many documents a tremendous amount of
time.
As a solution, we should generate the thumbnails only when the document is
closed or when it is saved.
The unfortunate consequence is that there is a scenario when the thumbnails
will not be generated:
* open a document the user has never opened before
* do some modifications
* close the document, but choose _not_ to save the modifications.
When the thumbnail was generated on load, we still had a thumbnail of the
document. When we avoid that, we won't have the thumbnail - as obviously it
makes no sense to generate a thumbnail of the non-saved changes (and we don't
have the original document at hand).
I believe this is a good trade-off, as in all the other scenarios (the user
opens the doc, and closes it again; the user does modifications & saves them)
the thumbnail will be generated.
