Hi,

When I create an OpenOffice Calc ods within DevonThink (from the new from template option), I can’t preview the document. I just get the generic OpenOffice Calc icon. Can DevonThink preview these types of docs?

Thanks.

DEVONthink uses the Quick Look architecture for unsupported file types but AFAIK there’s no Quick Look plugin available for OpenOffice .ods files so far.

Anything fruitful in web search results for something like “quick look openoffice ods”?
