64-bit preview handlers for preview

[glusberg]

If I turn this on, then it shows partial images on the preview (until I resize) and does not allow me to rename files
("file in use").
Should this be expected?

Which file types (e.g. .PDF, .DOCX) give this problem?

PDF

PDF

Which PDF viewer do you have installed?

[glusberg]

I am not sure I am competent enough to answer that.
Following recommendations here, I installed PDF-XChange Editor (version 8. from April 22, 2019) on my machine sometime back.
It always worked flawlessly till I enable the 64-bit preview. Today I disable it again, and everything works...

Which version of XY are you using?

[glusberg]

I believe it has been happening for a couple of versions (sorry). I am running 21.10.0007

[admin]

Really? I thought it was fixed for good. And partial images on the preview? Something is wrong with your installation I'd say. Never had any of these issues here, using PDF-XChange for years now day in day out.

So I should try re-installing pdf-xchange editor? remove it first?
I noticed that it "forgets" and uses a (way) smaller image of pdfs on occasion, and the fix is to run the install again and allow it to repair...
but i can do a total uninstall and install if you think that is going to help.

[admin]

Yes, I would try that.

In case you have remnants of Adobe on your system: try to get rid of them.

[glusberg]

I uninstalled pdf-xchange editor and re-installed it (no reboot in between).
I also removed adobe pdf reader (that was installed).
Made no difference.

Can you show a screenshot of the misery?

Huh? I don't get this screenshot. Please show the complete XYplorer window with the partial PDF preview.

[glusberg]

That is the complete xyplorer window. And the floating preview is a pdf.
What should I do differently?
