The Thumbnail Generator Tool regenerates thumbnails (a reduced-size version of a picture) for media attached to objects.
The thumbnail images are fetched from the Operating System. So, if your OS does not have an application associated with the file/MIME type of the media, or if that application does not generate thumbnails from the content, then that media object will only be given a generic thumbnail.
Usage
- Select Menu Tools > Utilities -> Thumbnail Generator Tool...
|
There is no confirmation bailout Despite the horizontal ellipsis ("…") at the end of this menu selection, no additional dialog appears before the action begins
|
The thumbnails will be regenerated in five passes:
- Generating thumbnails for person references
- Generating thumbnails for family references
- Generating thumbnails for event references
- Generating thumbnails for place references
- Generating thumbnails for source references
You can select Cancel to exit.
