When DocViewer is launched, the app shows a list of available documents.
If that list is shown with a grid layout, the app should provide a cover/preview for each document, instead of the default mimetype icon.
In order to achieve this, we have two alternatives:
- Write a thumbnailer for DocViewer, that should run asynchronously in a low priority thread.
- Expand the features of the SDK thumbnailer (in the Ubuntu.Thumbnailer module), adding support for text files and PDF files.
