This project is maintained by Göran Sander and supported by Ptarmigan Labs.
A cross-platform, command-line tool (plus Docker!) for creating sheet thumbnails based on the actual layout of sheets in Qlik Sense apps.
Works on both Qlik Sense Cloud apps and Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows (QSEoW) apps.
- Cross-platform support: Windows, macOS, Linux, and Docker.
- Automatically create sheet thumbnails based on actual sheet layouts.
- Supports Qlik Sense Cloud and Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows (QSEoW).
- Multi-app support using tags (QSEoW) or collections (QS Cloud).
- Ability to exclude or blur specific sheets.
- Stand-alone binaries available for easy installation.
- Integration with CI/CD pipelines.
Butler Sheet Icons ("BSI") removes the manual toil of curating sheet icons by mimicking how real users navigate Sense apps, capturing screenshots, processing them, and pushing the results back through the Sense APIs. Whether you are updating a single flagship dashboard or every app tagged for a release, BSI keeps thumbnails accurate and consistent.
Teams use BSI everywhere from ad-hoc desktop scripting to Dockerized CI/CD jobs. Built-in browser automation, sheet exclusion/blur filters, and environment-variable driven configs make it fit both quick experiments and enterprise deployments.
