Automator and Sketchup? Preview Icons

I'm trying to use Apples Automator program with Sketchup. I have tons
(gigs) of Sketchup files that don't show there preview icon on the
mac. It only creates a preview icon once the file has been opened
and saved.

So would it be possible to write a small automator program
that would Open, save, close sketchup files one by one n a given
folder? (or open, close, save at close prompt, repeat next file in
folder.) This would save me endless hours.

You can try by downloaded any file at:

Someone mentioned a learn function in automator "record actions"?? How would this be accomplished? THANKS!
