Hello list.
I want to create a preview icon for compositions that come from the
repository, but QLThumbnailImageCreate() requires a path which I
believe I cannot obtain.
It's probably better to just render out one frame of the composition
rather than using the QL APIs. The underlying plugin would do the same
thing (so performance should be the same) and this way you won't have
issues with Safe patches not showing up. You could also have more
control over which frame and at what size the thumbnail is produced.
