What dependencies are needed to preview Apple Keynote/Numbers/Pages documents? <eom> #180

Looks like it's trying to open the .key file as an archive: PreviewGenerator:__init__:21 - INFO: New Preview builder of class<class 'preview_generator.preview.builder.archive__zip.ZipPreviewBuilder'> However, both get_jpeg_preview and get_pdf_preview fail for .key files

Hello, Thanks for reporting us this issue. It's possible that a wrong preview builder is used. Do you have some .key file sample, to help us fix this ?

sample_keynote.key.zip

ZIP file contains a .key file

Thanks, I check, and like https://github.com/algoo/preview-generator/issues/183, we get trouble with mimetype detection mecanism. It's also seems that support for keynote is far from perfect in LibreOffice (keynote preview are generated with libreoffice).

So, you now can workaround theses issues by:

  1. use this piece of code, which will force .key to be always considered as keynote file: 
    from preview_generator.extension import mimetypes_storage
mimetypes_storage.add_type(
'application/vnd.apple.keynote', '.key')
  2. If the preview generated is not correctly rendered, try installing latest version of Libreoffice.
