Explorer works correctly with SWX 2015 .. and all older and newer versionsadmin wrote:But it does so in Explorer?
XY works perfectly with SWX 206 installed (and later I think), otherwise it does not show icons, previews and thumbnails (all the icons are white, it is impossible to distinguish the files)

Re: Preview Pane doesnt show solidworks files
Well, let's wait a couple of months and all these things should be history with the new full-64bit-support coming up...

Re: Preview Pane doesnt show solidworks files
So, now with 64-bit Preview, is anybody having success with previewing solidworks files?

Re: Preview Pane doesnt show solidworks files
It doesn't work. At least not with 2020 SP4. It uses a different system (no normal preview handler, tested via ShellExView) but Windows Explorer can make use of <whatever it is>...

I currently believe it uses the ThumbnailProvider. Can you confirm that the solidworks thumbnails look just like the preview in File Explorer?

Re: Preview Pane doesnt show solidworks files
No, I can't. No thumbnails at all.
SW installed only
Shell Folder
Search Handler
Copy Hook Handler
Context Menu
entries, no preview nor thumbnail ones.
Windows Explorer can handle thumbnails + previews, though:

Re: Preview Pane doesnt show solidworks files
Oh, I meant in Windows Explorer. It looks like the "preview" is just identical to the biggest thumbnail. True?

OK, going to work: Write a 64-bit thumbnail extractor in C#. We need that anyway...

Re: Preview Pane doesnt show solidworks files
Here is a test exe. Open the menu and then "Open Thumbnail...". Does it show a solidworks thumb?
