I'd like to 2nd this question,

I've got the Preview 2 running, and I can see soffice.bin being thrashed(I grabbed the rpms and installed them as I saw people say RHEL's were questionable) and I get the preview thumbnails, but I can't for the life of me generate an error or get a preview…. why?

Cheers

Tom

Make sure you have a more recent version of swftools than 0.8.1 - that version is known to produce Flash movies which, although they might play in a browser, cannot be played by Flex.

Thanks,

Is there a way to check the swftools version?

I too am having problems with thumbnails. This is a new install of Ubuntu 9.04 64bit. I install the deb version of swftools .0.8.1. I removed it, and downloaded, configured, and installed .0.9 and restarted Alfresco, but thumbnails of jpeg and doc files are not generated. PDF thumbnails are generated, but the thumbnail is 1" x 11" image of the first page.

No errors are logged when starting and stopping Alf. Not sure where to go next.

Thanks!

Sounds more like ImageMagick isn't working correctly. Have a close look at the startup log to check there are no errors around that area.

Sometimes I think I'm too stupid to breath :roll:

If I had only remember my own post http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=17902, I might have avoided a lot of wasted time!

Thanks for the suggestion. It reminded me that I had already faced this problem! ops:
