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

Still, that's quite interesting that in theory it can be done. It's not
your fault afterall if the thumbnailers don't implement it.
