            Bug ID: 95095
           Summary: LibreOffice should not generate thumbnail on load of a
                    document
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.0.1.2 release
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ke...@collabora.com

The thumbnails in the startcenter are nice, but they take quite a lot of time
to generate; 300ms and more, which is for many documents a tremendous amount of
time.

As a solution, we should generate the thumbnails only when the document is
closed or when it is saved.

The unfortunate consequence is that there is a scenario when the thumbnails
will not be generated:

* open a document the user has never opened before
* do some modifications
* close the document, but choose _not_ to save the modifications.

When the thumbnail was generated on load, we still had a thumbnail of the
document.  When we avoid that, we won't have the thumbnail - as obviously it
makes no sense to generate a thumbnail of the non-saved changes (and we don't
have the original document at hand).

I believe this is a good trade-off, as in all the other scenarios (the user
opens the doc, and closes it again; the user does modifications & saves them)
the thumbnail will be generated.
