Re: how to add custom preview handler
Diod you have a look with Regedit at the following location
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PreviewHandlers
There you should see the CLSIDs for all your handlers.

Re: how to add custom preview handler
Ok and you did tick
Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | [x] Use 64-bit preview handlers for preview
?
Because your preview handler resides in "Program Files" => 64-bit preview handler...

Of course because Thumbnail providers are not preview handlers.MatheusR95 wrote: ↑17 Jun 2021 18:58 @Horst

I guees you will not have success by adding a thumbnail provider in XY preview handler config.
You have to install an thumbnail provider which will also show thumbnails in Explorer.
Then XY will also show thumbnails.

Whe are not talking about the preview pane
you have enabled thumbnail view in details list
and XY doesn't show a thumbnail for this extension but Windows explorer does ?
Do you have a link to a small example file for download ?

Re: how to add custom preview handler
Try adding the extension to "Preview as Thumbnail" category, not UDPH
edit: Make sure you still have this enabled too: "Use 64-bit preview handlers for preview" and you only need to add the extension to the category not the CLSID in this case.

unfortunately tbh becuse XYplorer is way too nice for me.
ill keep using it, maybe with new updates this become OOB in the software.
can close the discuss please?
