In the media preferences, you tell DEVONthink how to display multimedia files, images, PDFs and other documents. You can also set options to generate thumbnails for certain filetypes. Media: Check Play automatically to play audio and video files automatically when you display them. Check Loop if you want to play the clips in a loop. You can also choose a background color for viewing movies. Check Automatically resize to toggle the automatic resizing when viewing PDFs. Images: Choose a default zoom factor and a background color for viewing images. PDF Display: Choose the default display mode for windowed and full screen modes and set the background color for viewing PDFs. Check Automatically resize to automatically resize PDFs in the view/edit pane. Markdown: Choose whether you want to open Markdown documents by default in editing or preview mode. If you want to choose a stylesheet used to display your Markdown documents, click the Select button to access stylesheets stored in `~/Library/Application Support/DEVONthink3/StyleSheets`. Check Enable MathJax support, if you need mathematical formulae to be rendered in your Markdown documents. (See the MathJax site for more information.) Sheets: Select whether to display sheets in Table View or Form View and set the background color when viewing the table. Create Thumbnails: Check all document types for which you want DEVONthink to create thumbnails. For images, check Generate from actual image to ignore thumbnails embedded into the image files and let DEVONthink generate the thumbnails from the actual image.
