While OpenOffice.org has internal support in the Windows desktop integration for the system file browser, providing thumb previews of OpenOffice.org files (see source code), such a feature is completely missing in its KDE integration.
The idea here is to develop a plug-in for KDE file managers (Dolphin and Konqueror) to preview OpenOffice.org files (Open Document Format) as thumbnails. Although this could be integrated into OpenOffice.org source code, I find it better to distribute the plug-in as a KDE extension, because it is developed using only the KDE API, and so it does not OpenOffice.org to be installed for it to work.
