[TYPO3-english] Thumbnail generation and default images

[Dennis Luemkemann]

Hello all,

I’m using file link content elements for downloads. The thumbnails are nicely generated for PDFs. But some formats are not recognized, like PPS.

What’s the best way to either

a) enable Typo3 to generate thumbnails of these proprietary formats (MS Office) or
b) define a default icon/image to be shown when an unsupported format is encountered?

In 4.5 I added icons in typo3/sysext/cms/tslib/media/fileicons and referenced them in t3lib/stddb/tables.php. This does not work in 6.2 any longer.

Thanks
Dennis
