Document Text Extraction
Maximum size of documents to extract text from
Specify the file size that should be indexed in this box. By default the limit of the file size is set to 1 mb. This means that files larger then 1 mb will not be indexed. For slower machines it is recommended to choose a lower value. A larger value affects the performance of MS Access DB . This option is useful in a multi-user scenario where you can disable extracting and indexing of text on slow machines for large files without disabling full text search.
No limit: Select this option if you want to extract and index all the files irrespective of their size.
Create thumbnail on Check-in
Check this option to generate thumbnails of documents, as soon as they are added to Sohodox. With this option enabled, it will take slightly longer to add documents because of the time taken to generate the thumbnail. Enabling this option is recommended only if you often use the thumbnail view instead of the list in the List View pane.
Enabling this option ensures that the thumbnail view is loaded quickly. If this option is disabled then when you select the option to view thumbnails of the documents in the List View pane, you will be informed that the thumbnails for the documents have not been generated. To generate the thumbnails, in the List View pane click the Click here to generate the thumbnails now link on the yellow information bar which appears. Enabling the Create thumbnail on Check-in option may cause performance issues.
