Are there any plans to support the new file types for the Preview pane? ie. .xlsx and .docx ?

Actually I do not support Office in the strict sense. I just support IE. Means: I can preview what IE can preview.

So the question is: can IE preview xlsx and .docx? (Simply drag one into an IE window to find out.)

One potential problem is that, as kcaudell mentions, the new Office files have new extensions (.docx, .xlsx, etc.). From what I see in XY's config screen, these would have to be programmed in??

I have Office 2007 installed (in Vista) here at work and it behaves....strange. If I preview a .doc or .xls file it opens an instance of Word or Excel instead of previewing it in IE in the info panel. This same behavior is exhibited when I drag a document into IE...it opens in the associated application, not in IE. So, Office2k7 must just force itself on the user. Huh.

Yes, I have to add them from here.

XY's behavior will be the same as IE's. What you describe sounds rather un-good...

EDIT: I guess you can alter that behavior by configuring MIME-types...

Code: Select all

v6.10.0083 - 09.08.07 12:47
    + Peview: Added *.docx and *.xlsx file types.

The preview now behaves the same as the "old" Office docs. Good. If you wanted, you could probably also add *.pptx (PowerPoint) and *.dotx (Word Template). I noticed that you support the old version of those file types too.

Ah, good. I'll add those 2 as well. Any other new Office file types?

Any chance for OASIS OpenDocument (ODF) format previews in the future?

The chance is small. Quite unlikely that IE will support this format, right? All my Office support is channeled through IE...

Likely, unless Microsoft's arm is tied behind their back by the government (since the government is trying to standardize ODF as a format). They rather have their Office be used.

Read this article from Microsoft support page (although this article is for IE7 users, but I have tested it my self and found out that it will work just fine in IE6):
