Re: Preview .msg files "No Preview Available"
Is anyone else having .msg preview issues again as I posted here?
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=25303
First .msg preview works, switch to second file and it stops working (can view but mouse doesn't click in pane). PDF preview is then also unresponsive in terms of buttons after. Word preview is still responsive.

Re: Preview .msg files "No Preview Available"
I am having the same problem. Opening a msg file, the first works then it locks xy for any subsequent. It also locks Directory Opus. The only way to free up both apps is a system restart.
I would appreciate a simple guide to the resolutions others hove reported.
I am using windows 10 64 bit up to date with all updates and Outlook 2019. The location of msg together with relevant config data would be appreciated.

FYI, I'm using this in the meantime and it works fine okay (XY loses the focus after the preview, you need to click on it to re-focus):

Thanks
Works a treat but the font a bit small. Do you have a copy of the reg file that alters the size?

Uh, don't know what you mean. I guess the answer is no.

Re: Preview .msg files "No Preview Available"
In the url you quote, https://www.brandsict.nl/msgpreviewer_en.php, it says there a reg file in the zip. Problem no Zip.
I have E mailed brandsict.nl to see if they have a copy.
Will let you know outcome.

Re: Preview .msg files "No Preview Available"
Is there any chance of figuring out how File Explorer handles the native Outlook msg preview & replicating in XYP, since File Explorer doesn't have the lockup issue?admin wrote: ↑27 Dec 2022 10:48 FYI, I'm using this in the meantime and it worksfineokay (XY loses the focus after the preview, you need to click on it to re-focus):

The 'addon' non-native msg preview pane losing focus is a real issue esp if you want to use down and up arrow keys to go thru a lot of msg files in preview pane

Re: Preview .msg files "No Preview Available"
It might not be impossible (but it also might), but all I know for now is that other devs have struggled too and failed. MSG, like all Office things in general, is a world of its own within Windows that often doesn't follow the rules. You can really feel the tension between the Windows and Office departments within Microsoft.

Re: Preview .msg files "No Preview Available"
How about a way to get that Replacement (brands) previewer above to keep focus on the Xyplorer pane rather than having the focus lost? Anyway to do so?admin wrote: ↑01 Apr 2023 09:05 It might not be impossible (but it also might), but all I know for now is that other devs have struggled too and failed.

I'll consider it. Might work. ... Check next beta.

Re: Preview .msg files "No Preview Available"
Basically it works, the list still has the focus.
But if I use the down arrow key the cursor is put on the next file
but it its not activated and the preview pane is blanc.
Only after I click on it the preview starts.
This is a general problem which I also have for other type of previews.
What setting do I miss here ?
