It doesn't have to be on the fly -- just needs to run once, on upload. This is how
PdfHandler does it. When the PDF is uploaded, it calls ImageMagick to generate the preview
image. PSDs could be handled the same way, since ImageMagick supports them too. If
there's no such PSD handler for MediaWiki right now, that's kind of what I
expected, but unfortunately I don't have time to write one myself.
As a Plan B, is there no way of dealing with the blank rectangle problem? Before
installing PdfHandler, I noticed that MediaWiki was displaying an Acrobat logo as the
preview image. I'm wondering if I can get MediaWiki to display a Photoshop logo or a
generic "Unknown Image" graphic. Even some text saying "No preview image
available" would be preferable to the empty rectangle.
Thanks!
