When do thumbnails get created?

Quick question: when you select “create thumbnails” for a media type (Preferences > Media > Create Thumbnails), when do those thumbnails get created if the document already exists?

Also, to have DT create thumbnails for RTF and TXT docs, do I select “other file types”?

I’m not sure I understand the question.

Yes.

I have that option selected, but my RTF files keep their default icons, unless I manually select them and select “Data > Thumbnails > Create”.

  1. Create a new rich text file.
  2. Enter some text.
  3. Save the file.

What is the result with the thumbnail? I am seeing it update as expected.

OK, I’m seeing it now. Maybe it was just taking time to process through old files first. Thanks!
