Rendition placeholders on bulk import

Hi,Is there a way of getting rendition placeholders during large import of documents on the fly?We are importing a mix of image & office documents and immediately launching a custom application with a folder workspace for that import.Right now we are waiting for all the renditions to take place

When you open the document library, you might notice that each of the thumbs has a URL like:

http://localhost:8080/share/proxy/alfresco/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/74cd8a96-8a21-47e5-9b3b-a1b3e296787d/content/thumbnails/doclib?c=queue&ph=true&lastModified=1

The "c=queue" argument tells Alfresco to queue up an asynchronous conversion if the thumbnail does not exist and the "ph=true" tells Alfresco to return a generic placeholder if the rendered thumb does not yet exist.

I'm not exactly clear on what your workspace is, but if it is a custom app, you could use a similar approach so that you will always either see a generic placeholder or the actual thumbnail if it exists, and, by invoking this URL you'll request the actual thumbnail generation.
