Generating preview/thumbnails for pages/master pages from GN3

In version 1.5 is added the Fred sub EditionPagesGeneratePreview(editionId) to generate page and master thumbnails of a given edition, if thumbnails are missing (as it happens on editions, imported from GN3).

There are no menu entries linked to it. Run it from the Script editor on the Editions main tab when needed.

Select the Shell Tab Item context, and then run script as either:

EditionPagesGeneratePreview(0): It will open all the pages and all the masters of all the editions in the system and generate previews. Use it very carefully as it may take long time.

EditionPagesGeneratePreview(-1): it will open all the pages and all the masters of editions, selected in navigator (if any), and generate previews. Use it very carefully as it may take long time if you selected many editions.

EditionPagesGeneratePreview(xxxx): (where xxxx is a valid edition id) opens all the pages and all the masters of the specified edition, and generate previews.

Note

A similar function exists for generating thumbnails of library objects: LibraryGeneratePreview(libId).
