I would but currently on the next start of XY all 3 configured sizes are now showing thumbnails fine.

Tomorow I'm starting a 2 weeks vacation,
after this I'll test it again and report the results.

Portable XYplorer (actual version, including betas)

Don, thanks for staying on this. I had to bug out for a bit.

Here's what I just tried.
-installed 20.70.0017
-deleted all files from thumbnail database folder
-view thumbnails for pdf folder
-checked thumbnail database folder ... the XYThumbs.txt is present, but only the .dat2 file. The .dbits file is missing.
-view thumbnails for image folder ... the .dat2 and .dbits files are created as expected and thumbnails display.

Make any sense?

Does that mean the problem was with caching, not with creating?
Does that mean the problem is gone?

Problem is not gone. All I see is the PDF icon. No thumbnails.

I have reinstalled 20.70.0000 as it behaves like previous XY versions when it comes to PDF thumbnails.

Could it be that you have added PDF to the Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Image Files category?

Ah, I checked and yes PDF is included in Image Files category.

I do not remember adding this entry. I can't think of a reason why I would have.

20.70.0000: I removed PDF from Image Files and had previously removed PDF from Preview as Thumbnail. Thumbnails still created as expected.

20.70.0019: I upgraded to this version and Thumbnails now created as expected.

You made a change somewhere after 20.70.0000 that does not like PDF in Image Files?

Regardless, thank you so much for nailing this down. Your support is beyond reproach.

Yes, I mentioned the change here: viewtopic.php?p=195186#p195186 ("Preview as Thumbnail" should never affect anything with thumbnails, only with previews)

So this is solved now, good. :beer:
