The Files application provides a grid view to show thumbnails for files of various formats. When a user uploads, updates, or views a file, a thumbnail is generated (provided a thumbnail is available for the file). However, this solution does not work with existing files. You can use the global feature flag<genericProperty name="filesMediaView">enabled</genericProperty>
to control whether the grid view is displayed when users upload, update, or open a file. Use the Files MBean FilesThumbnailService.generateForAllFiles()command to modifycreateThumbnail event
so that the thumbnail also displays existing files.
