In File > Properties> General there is an option to "Save preview image with this document." What does this mean?
Is this a serious question?
Exactly what it says. A preview image will be created such that your OS/file manager can display a preview of the document. You have probably seen this when browsing a directory containing images, if your file manager has been set to display previews - aka thumbnails.
Hi robleyd, It is a serious question, although I can certainly see how the answer might seem obvious.
I asked because my assumption was that the preview image is the first page of the file and the file already contains it. So why ask if it should be saved? Because that did not quite make sense, I thought perhaps it was referring to something else.
Why not TIAS? Do a little research: open the .odt file as a zip archive and see if there is a directory named Thumbnails in it and look in that directory. Result will depend on the save setting. See what else you can observe about files with and without the thumbnail.
