KDE MS Office OLE Document Thumbnailer

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

KDE thumbnailer plugin for Microsoft Office OLE Documents.
This plugin should support all ole documents with thumbnails saved, including doc ppt pps xls files.
However, most doc and xls documents do not have thumbnail image saved along with document body, you may not see the previews.

It depends on libgsf for ole archieve handling and shipped with internal libkowmf copy for rendering wmf graphics from calligra suite.
You do not need any office suite installed to make this plugin work.

Enjoy!

Hi,

if I try to unmount my usb stick the process kio_thumb is blocking the device.
lsof shows that there are multiple files that are kept open - all MS OLE files some with thumbnails, some without.
This does not happen with OOXML files.

Greetings
Daniel

Great idea. Love to try it but without install instructions and time to figure out how to compile and install it I'll leave it with you.
