Alfresco tips and tricks – #4 Turning off Share thumbnail generation

Sometimes you may need to disable the Share thumbnails generation. To do this you can set the following property in alfresco-global.properties:

system.thumbnail.generate=false

You can also turn off selected mimetype thumbnail generation using the “mimetypeMaxSourceSizeKBytes” property. If the value (KB) is less than zero, a thumbnail will be generated regardless of size. A value of 0 turns off thumbnail generation for a given mimetype.
