adaptation for linux mint

[kafeenstra]

with a few small modifications, this nice msoffice-thumbnailer-install.sh script can also be used on Linux Mint (tested on 22.3), as follows (output of git diff):

Hello,

Thank you for the nice addition.
I'll modify the script accordingly.

Have you tested also other thunbnailer scripts under Mint (libreoffice, gimp, ... ) ?

[kafeenstra]

Great, thanks!

For libreoffice, I installed the standard ooo-thumbnailer, that was just an apt get install away and afaict works perfectly ;-)
I'm interested in some of the others, particularly gimp, but haven't tried them yet.

I've gone thru most of the thumbnailer installation scripts to make them compatible with Ubuntu, Debian and Linux Mint.
Just let me know if there is still a trouble.
