Re: PDF Thumbnail Issues
For me "Can't Decode" was produced using a defekt beta SumatraPDF thumbnail provider.
Installing an older version fixed the problem.

Re: PDF Thumbnail Issues
I appreciate your input, but I am using PDF-Xchange which has worked forever regardless of the version.

Re: PDF Thumbnail Issues
Cannot reproduce but it might be connected with the recent issue concerning video thumbnails which will be fixed in the beta. So it might be fixed as well. Let me know.

Re: PDF Thumbnail Issues
Thanks for your input, Don.
I still get generic PDF thumbnails with 20.70.0016. If the thumbnail database file was created by 22.60.0200, 20.70.0016 will display the thumbnails correctly. However, Shift-T to recreate thumbnails reverts all to the generic thumbnail. Without Shift-T, any new files added will display the generic thumbnail.
Update: In the vein of try anything, I added the pdf extension to "Category: Preview as Thumbnail" and now PDF thumbnails are displayed/created. The pdf extension has always been in "Category: Office Files" (and I left it there as well.)

Re: PDF Thumbnail Issues
The "Preview as Thumbnail" shouldn't have anything to do with this. But you are right, it currently does. I will fix that.
Concerning your issue: This should be ticked to show PDF thumbnails: Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show thumbnails for non-images

Re: PDF Thumbnail Issues
What happens when you add PDF to "Preview as Thumbnail" and preview a PDF?

Re: PDF Thumbnail Issues
I had not removed PDF from "Preview as Thumbnail". 20.70.0017 displays generic PDF thumbnail. 20.70.0016 displays PDF thumbnail. As a note, the "Preview" PDF entry is displayed in blueish font while the other entries are in white. Because I added the PDF?

Re: PDF Thumbnail Issues
OK, that's the icon.
I cannot understand why this does not work for. Can you test it with a fresh instance?

Re: PDF Thumbnail Issues
I have a similar problem which also happens on fresh instance.
Some PDFs are showing a generic icon and some the correct thumbnails.
Depemding on thumbnail size the number differs.
There is nothing special with this PDFs, they show correct thumbnails in Explorer and Total Commander.
