While the bug is closed and there is some logic now to determine the page used
for the thumbnail (which is a clear improvement), it does not solve the actual
problem that we have in our company. Using different templates for different
purposes for Writer and Calc, we need an easy way to identify the respective
templates. And the thumbnail pictures are providing that. But only because we
modify the template archives and exchange the thumbnail picture in the ox files
- each time we edit a template. This has been triggered by the bug, where we
didn't have a deterministic thumbnail picture. Now, where we enjoy the de-luxe
version, nobody wants to go back.
It would be great to have that integrated in LO. There should be an option to
set the thumbnail picture with an external picture once. This should then be
used automatically again, when the template is modified. Of course, unless the
thumbnail picture is explicitly changed again. A nice spot for this option
would be the save-as dialogue.
