Preview shows up for disabled PDF filetype
Preview shows up for disabled PDF filetype
I have disabled preview of PDF filetype in web & office file category but XYplorer shows preview. Other disabled filetypes are not showing the preview.

Re: Preview shows up for disabled PDF filetype
I think it shows just the thumbnails (preview created by shell). To exclude even this you can use the NoPrevShell tweak.Tamil wrote:I have disabled preview of PDF filetype in web & office file category but XYplorer shows preview. Other disabled filetypes are not showing the preview.
Code: Select all
+ Tweak to exclude certain file types (identified by extension) from
the shell-made preview and thumbnails.
This would exclude MHT and URL files:
[Settings]
NoPrevShell=.mht.url.
Code: Select all
NoPrevShell=pdf

Re: Preview shows up for disabled PDF filetype
XYplorer used to hang when I browse a folder containing PDF files. Unregistering the pdfshell.dll by running the following command solved the problem.
Code: Select all
regsvr32 /u "%CommonProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\pdfshell.dll"
