Add option for initiating Share thumbnail and preview rendering as part of import #120

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be ideal if the bulk filesystem import tool offered an option for 
initiating generation of Share thumbnails and previews while an import is 
progressing.

I'm not sure why this is necessary, given that Share will lazily (i.e. on 
demand) generate thumbnails and previews if they haven't previously been 
generated anyway.

It's also the case that generating thumbnails and previews is a computationally 
expensive operation, so doing it in bulk while an import is in progress is 
likely to have a significant negative impact on performance.  In contrast, 
on-demand generation amortises those costs over time.

For now I'm going to park this ticket.  If anyone feels strongly about it I'd 
be willing to consider it for a future version of the tool.

If this becomes an issue, it can be raised again in the github project 
(https://github.com/pmonks/alfresco-bulk-import).
