Hi Régis.

You should set the following property in your portal-ext.properties:

dl.file.entry.preview.enabled=false

This isn't working for me in Liferay 6.1 EE.

I still have previews showing up in asset publisher portlets and documents and media display portlets. Is there another setting for the portlets? I'd prefer to have just an icon show up that's based on the file type.

Try with

dl.file.entry.thumbnail.enabled=false

Thanks. To get it to work I did the following:

1. Added these lines to my portal-ext.properties file
dl.file.entry.preview.enabled=false
dl.file.entry.thumbnail.enabled=false

2. Cleared all existing thumbnails
Control Panel->Server Admin->Reset Preview and Thumbnail Files

This got rid of all the images, but my asset publisher still showed a broken link, so then I
3. Hooked document_library/asset/full_content.jsp, changing it so that showThumbnail=false is always the case
