Hey all,
Is there an option to manually set a file’s thumbnail and have it stay the thumbnail regardless of file/view changes and save states?
I’m starting to design what could be thousands of small parts that aren’t easy to describe in a filename so the thumbnail will be important in helping me quickly find a particular part in the future. These documents will also often be modified and I don’t want this to automatically affect the thumbnail once set.
If there isn’t already a way to do this, it would be really helpful if we could override the default automatically generated thumbnail on a per-document basis with options like…
- Set thumbnail automatically when saving. (default behaviour)
- Set thumbnail using current viewport. (same thumbnail as auto but only updates when manually selected)
- Set thumbnail using selected objects. (Updates thumbnail when manually selected. Would be my preferred choice!!)
- Automatically centers objects in thumbnail.
- Crops excess space around objects and maximizes their size to fill thumbnail. As you can see below, the object(s) I want as the thumbnail is less than half the height it could be because its created using the viewport. Instead if the thumbnail was based on selected objects and cropped, the object would be as tall as the other icons/thumbnails.
Thanks!
