Finder: no preview of Impress odp files (OpenOffice, LibreOffice)

When hitting SPACE to preview an Impress file with file ending .odp (OpenDocument Presentation) no preview is shown like for .doc oder .pdf

Impress is the presentation program of OpenOffice / LibreOffice.


Question: Is it possible to add preview functionality for odp manually or is it done by Apple only?


Used version:

LibreOffice 3.3.2

OOO330m19 (Build:202)

tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7), LibreOffice 3.3.2

It is the responsibility of LibreOffice to provide a QuickLook plugin.

Thanks for pointing me to QuickLook. It looks like LibreOffice installs no QuickLook plugin so far.

But the NeoOffice Team which ported OpenOffice to Aqua environment first, indeed has a plugin called neopeek.


I downloaded the neopeek project from their cvs (http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/build.php) and compiled it for OSX 10.5.

Credentials: :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.neooffice.org:/cvs

password: anoncvs


The resulting file neopeek.qlgenerator was put in folder

/Library/QuickLook
according to the Apple documentation over here:

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/ Quicklook_Programming_Guide/Articles/QLArchitecture.html


It immediately worked with an LibreOffice .odp file.


Best regards, obn
