Bug #: 29347 Summary: Preview pane in office 2007 file browser does not show files Product: Wine Version: 1.3.34 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Mac OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jack@codeweavers.com Classification: Unclassified
From within an Office 2007 app, going to "open file", and switching the
explorer View to "preview", no Office app except Word will actually generate a preview (and at that, only with .doc/.docx files - not rtf, for instance).
All other office apps, when looking at files of the type opened by the respective program, report that the "preview is unavailable."

--- Comment #3 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com --- This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 2 years. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.16 or newer) wine?

--- Comment #4 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
Excel is different regarding preview. You need to save the workbook explicitly with a "preview" image to have it shown in the dialog.
1) open the workbook/sheet 2) click the 'Office' button, click 'Prepare' and then click 'Properties' (Excel displays a set of properties just above the worksheet) 3) click the down-arrow next to 'Document Properties' and choose 'Advanced Properties' (Excel displays the Properties dialog box) Make sure the 'Summary' tab is selected. 4) select the 'Save Thumbnails for All Excel Documents' check box at the bottom of the dialog box. 5) click on 'OK' to close the 'Properties' dialog box. 6) save the workbook.
The preview image should now be shown in 'Open' dialog.
Unless you can prove that Excel 2007 on Windows behaves differently (screenshots, videos) I suggest to close this one as 'invalid'. IMHO there is nothing to "fix" here
$ wine --version wine-1.7.19-56-gee13e10

You're right; that is how it works in Windows. It doesn't work in Wine; the preview pane just shows a white rectangle. Attached is a screenshot. Tested in 1.7.19.

--- Comment #6 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- Did a little more testing in both Wine and XP (in a VM), and the problem is with saving the preview image. Files saved in Excel under XP display the previews fine in both Wine and Windows. Files saved in Excel under Wine just display the blank rectangle in both Wine and Windows. Tested in wine-1.7.19-56-gee13e10.

Good. That means that preview works in general.

Well, my tests were more successful. I had a chart image displayed on white background when generating the preview with Wine. I don't know maybe it's workbook/content specific (test other examples?).
OP reported "preview is unavailable." which is clearly not the case since I have a preview image displayed if properly created. If your preview doesn't completely work for whatever reasons it's likely a different problem. You could start with providing various workbook examples as test-cases to make this bug still useful (change the summary accordingly).

Attaching an Excel file saved with the preview image under Wine. It just displays a blank rectangle for the preview in both Wine and Windows on my system.
My version of Office 2007 is the Enterprise Edition, 12.0.4518.1014 (without any service packs) and 12.0.6611.1000 (with SP3).
