When marking assets by python api, the thumbnail does not show properly in the asset browser can not see the image

Question

When marking assets by python api, the icon does not show properly in the asset browser can not see the thumbnail. But I can mark the asset.

       obj = bpy.data.objects["dishwasher1"]  
       obj.asset_clear()
       obj.asset_mark()

Any one can help on this?

Let's have a look at what Python Console suggests with autocomplete:

object.asset_generate_preview() looks interesting.

A link to the method docs for completeness : https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bpy.types.ID.html#bpy.types.ID.asset_generate_preview – Gorgious Sep 21 '22 at 08:41

Note the generation is asynchronous so you won't be able to access the image data directly after calling asset_generate_preview but you can use application timers to wait for a bit for the preview to render. – Gorgious Sep 21 '22 at 08:48
Absolutely worked out! Fantastic! – Derekcbr Sep 21 '22 at 10:17
