Description bick-qlb 2024-12-03 20:12:21 UTC
Description:
macOS is able to show preview of file in the Finder.
This works well for Microsoft Office files but not for all kinds of LibreOffice files.
Obviously there is some code that allows Microsoft Office documents formats 
and odt-files made from all office suites to show a preview (thumbnail image) in the finder. Please put this code also into LibreOffice spreadsheet and presentation editors so that also ods- and odp-files will have their preview in the sidecolumn!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create all three kinds of files with different office suites.
2.
3.

Actual Results:
In the finder you see that some kinds of files have previews others not.

Expected Results:
All kinds of files should have previews.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
macOS is able to show preview of file in the Finder.
This works well for
Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint files (docx, xlsx, pptx),
even when the docx-file is created with LibreOffice, NeoOffice, SoftMaker Office,
even when the xlsx-file is created with LibreOffice, NeoOffice, SoftMaker Office,
even when the pptx-file is created with LibreOffice, NeoOffice, SoftMaker Office.
