Description Frank Brütting 2017-09-03 13:02:58 UTC
Description:
The thumbnails of OpenDocument files show script fields dyed grey (like it is the case in the editor mode), but it would make more sense to preview fields like they really look in the end – so that for example in the preview of a text document, the whole table of contents won’t be a inside big grey block anymore.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document with some TOC, then look at the thumbnail image inside the file.

Actual Results:  
TOC is inside a grey block.

Expected Results:
TOC normally visible without the grey block, like printed or in not-editor mode.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

I disagree. Thumbnails allow to find easily a file in the startcenter. From that point of view visual memory is preponderant, so I prefer that thumbnails show what I see when I edit a file, not what I see if I printed it.


Best regards. JBF

Ok, I understand your opinion. But often files are created once and then distributed to colleagues who usually don’t edit the files, but just read them (in non-editor mode). This would be an argument for showing the file without these editor-macro-boxes.
