XYplorer64 28.00: WMF, EMF, and GIF problems

Post by jr5280 »

I can't get XYplorer64 28.00 to preview or show thumbnails for WMF or EMF files (very popular old clip art file formats). Both formats are listed and selected in the Previewed Formats section of the Configuration settings.

Also, GIF files do not work properly with Mouse Down Blow Up: an empty white frame appears where the animated preview should be. Normal (non-Mouse Down Blow Up) thumbnail and preview features work properly with GIF animations, however.

All of these formats/features work properly with XYplorer32, so I'm looking for help on how to get them to work with XYplorer64 …

I'm a little surprised about WMF or EMF, but not at all about anim GIFs. Known issue, see https://www.xyplorer.com/faq.php#up64

Everything will be fine with the new releases in the coming weeks.

Sounds good. Sorry I overlooked the "animated GIF" known issue in the FAQ -- my eyes-to-brain information pipeline seems to have a lot of leaks these days.
