Bug affecting thumbnail creation ?
Hi.
I don't understand why, but about 20% of them are "blank" (ie using the default FC logo), within the start page.
Any idea ?

Hmm...you're lucky, I've never gotten any percentage to get a thumbnail...for years!

Re: Bug affecting thumbnail creation ?
What puzzles me is the apparent randomness of the phenomenon.
Re: Bug affecting thumbnail creation ?
Well...it's not random for me. It is 100% no thumbnail...

Re: Bug affecting thumbnail creation ?
Ok, so I take it back...
I expected to see the thumbnail in the file browser on my system. I see reading the wiki (go figure...) that it is supposed to display in the Startup workbench of recent files.
And, indeed it does.
But, I never have the Start up workbench in my list of active workbenches, so I never saw it before...
But, the wiki says nothing about them being displayed elsewhere. So, I was just letting my imagination get in the way... or maybe it was wishful thinking.

Re: Bug affecting thumbnail creation ?
The behavior is at least consistent. Whatever WB is activated (so "Start" included), I see a set of thumbnails on the first tab, but a little mutilated.
Re: Bug affecting thumbnail creation ?
After some research, there seems to be some magic one needs to apply to the file manager (in my case XFCE and Thunar) to see thumbnails.
(Note, not n FreeCAD, but in the file browser...)
Not sure it would work for a FreeCAD file, since the FC file is a zip file and the thumbnail is in a folder in the zip.
I'm assuming this is the case since other files and videos do show thumbnails.

Re: Bug affecting thumbnail creation ?
At least in your case it's a 100 % failure.
But in mine ? I really don't understand why *sometime* it doesn't work. Well, at this stage maybe only a developer would be able to give us a hint.

Re: Bug affecting thumbnail creation ?
I did note that after changing it in preferences, I had to save the file and reopen FC before I saw the thumbnail in the Start WB...
