Hoverbox Preview not working

Post by webcruzers »

Has anyone else who downloaded the latest version (17.70.0100) been experiencing the issue of the Hoverbox image preview not working? Running Windows 10 and I have checked that the configuration options to allow hover (Show file info tips & Show image info and preview) are checked on.

All else works great. No errors, it just doesn't bring up any preview for any image type (.png, jpg, etc.)

pressing f11 does bring up a floating preview, so I know image viewer is fine.

any help would be appreciated

thanks

1. Are thumbnails generated when you switch to Tiles View (menu View | Views | Large Tiles (192x192))?
2. Do you get File Info Tips when hovering icons of non-image files?
3. What's your screen size and resolution?

I was having a similar issue until I realized that the option "Show info tips only when the shift key is held down" was on (which appears to be the default). When I turned that option off, it all worked as expected.

I may have turned that option on previously (if it existed before), but I don't remember doing it.

In any case, it works now! :)
