In the media preferences you tell DEVONthink Personal how to handle multimledia files, images, PDFs and other documents for which DEVONthink Personal can create thumbnails.

The following options are available:

  • Movies: Check Create thumbnails if you want DEVONthink Personal to create thumbnails for imported or indexed QuickTime movies. Movie documents without thumbnails will appear with a generic icon, while movies with thumbnails show miniatures of their content. Check Play automatically to play QuickTime movies automatically when you display them, and check Loop if you want to play the clips in a loop. Choose a background color for viewing movies.
  • Images: Check Create thumbnails if you want DEVONthink Personal to create thumbnails for imported or indexed images. Choose a background for viewing images using the standard Mac OS X color chooser.
  • PDF & PostScript documents: Check Create thumbnails if you want DEVONthink Personal to create thumbnails for imported or indexed PDF and PostScript files. Choose a background for viewing PDFs.
  • Web archives: Check Create thunbnails if you want DEVONthink Personal to try to create thumbnails for created web archives.
  • Other documents: Check Create thumbnails if you want DEVONthink Personal to try to create thumbnails for other imported or indexed file. Whether a thumbnail can be created or not depends on the file format of the imported or indexed file.
