[TYPO3-core] RFC #13283: Thumbnail generation broken for PDF files

[Michael Stucki]

Hi Steffen,

we're currently working on this very issue due to a nice bid at the bug
auction at T3BOARD :-)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but thumbs.php was never broken?!

Yes I agree, but that should go into a separate RFC. But yeah, you are
totally right about this. The switch is nowadays complete nonsense.
