Thumbnailer support for .docx .xlsx

[Simorgh]

Hi Softmakers,

After some digging I realized that I have to bring my question here.
Is there a way to be able to see a preview or a thumbnail of a document? I use KDE and Dolphin is my file manager.
On openSUSE forum they suggest that I install Calligra Suite but they are not sure that the Calligra thumbnailer would support .docx

Would appreciate help.

Kind regards

Yes. If you install Caligra and then in Dolphin you go to General => Previews you can activate previews for MS Office Documents, as well for LibreOffice/OpenDocument.

Thank you @lgsl for the reply.
Edit: I did install calligra, made sure the Dolphin settings had the previews on and rebooted. But there are no previews. Is this a bug? Is there a conflict somewhere!?
I wonder if it would be possible that SoftMaker team can implement in a thumbnailer/preview feature so we don't have to install calligra?!

Thanks in advance.

This feature (or at least for me) is a bit buggy. Dolphin can take a sweet time rendering the thumbnail depending on the size and complexity of the document. That's why I think, it's turned off by default.
LibreOffice goes arround this issue with a different approach (at least for odt). It pre-generates an thumbnail/image of the document. Perhaps Text Maker could come up with something like this.

Couple of days ago, suddenly Dolphin was showing thumbnails but after a restart, it stopped. Glitch maybe!
