Hey all, Playing around with Share, I've noticed a little delay on the Flash Preview as it prepares a file for the preview mode.
In particular, a large multipage TIFF on 3.4.e community server on Windows (although most of my testing has been on 3.4.d on linux) takes 3-5 sec before the preview shows up (note, separate issue http://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-7278 related to preview of only the single page for multipage TIFF).
Is there anything that can be done to say 'pre-rendition' on-load all documents so the flash preview is faster for users/administrators who want to go down this path (or if there are other corrections/issues that would help with this problem)?
You could consider writing a folder rule that would generate the thumbnail for an object when it is added or updated in a folder. If you set the rule on Company Home you could then inherit it across the entire repository.
Obviously, you may end up creating thumbnails that never get viewed, so that's a trade-off.
If you go this route, be careful to be specific about which objects you create renditions for. It may not make sense for *every* object in the repo. You might want to do it only for office docs and images, for example.
