Hey list,
Many different desktop environments display the first page of a PDF as
the file's "thumbnail" image. Is there any way to customize what is used
as the preview image for a PDF with ConTeXt? Or is it typesetting
environment agnostic and the thumbnailers always look for the first
page?

in theory yes but in practice no
\starttext
% quick and dirty test:
\setobject{test}{1}\hbox{\externalfigure[mill.png]} % gets object 15
\startluacode
lpdf.addtopageattributes("Thumb",lpdf.reference(15))
\stopluacode
\input tufte
\getobject{test}{1}
\stoptext
no viewer seems to do something with it
