.NET

My requirements are to be able to thumbnail the major image and file extensions: doc(x), txt, xls(x), pdf, rte, and as many others as possible.

We have been hooking into Office extensions to do this in the past, but they are not really supported on Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.

Are there any third party thumbnailing applications that you have had success implementing? Preferably ones that are easy to invoke from .Net

Hi I'm using sorl-thumbnail in a Django 1.2 (currently 1.2 RC) project and getting a surprising failure of four of sorl's built-in unit tests.
