           Summary: Regression: ODT files no longer display in Explorer
                    preview
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.4.2 release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: seatrout at gmail.com


ODT files on my Windows 7 machines will not display in the Explorer preview
pane if they were created with LO 3.4.2 but do display if created with 3.3

This is repeatable, every time, across two computers, one running W7
profesional, and one running W7 home. It is very irritating. 

I poked around in the meta.xml files to see if anything had changed in the file
format between 3.3 and 3.4. I couldn't see anything obvious. But something has
clearly changed to break the preview mechanism. 

Opening a file created under 3.3 and saving it out under 3.4.2 will break the
previewing too, reliably. 

I would file this in any list of really irritating bugs, because it makes file
management really hard and irritating.
