Create thumbnail returns false, but thumbnail is created

DEVONthink Feedback

With the following script, running on a record without thumbnail,

(() => {
  const app = Application("DEVONthink 3");
  const rec = app.getRecordWithUuid('x-devonthink-item://7A491EA9-A07C-4DA9-8A2F-7CF2A0E66812');
  console.log(`Thumbnail is ${rec.thumbnail()}`);
  const createResult = app.createThumbnail({for: rec});
  console.log(`Thumbnail creation returned ${createResult}`);
  })()

I see this output

Thumbnail is undefined
Thumbnail creation returned false

While the first line is obviously ok, I’m wondering why the return value of createThumbnail is false, although the thumbnail is created just fine, albeit asynchronously.

OTH, deleteThumbnail returns false if no thumbnail exists and true otherwise. That seems sensible.

You’re right and probably the first one checking the returned value of these commands :slight_smile:, the next release will fix this.
