Works now [v11.20: PEF-Previews?]

[Filehero]

Hi,

hmm, with 11.20 neither Full Screen Preview (F11) nor Floating Preview work over here, the file types don't seem to matter. The status bar always prompt "no preview available".

However, MDBU or classical Preview do work with the following file types checked, e.g.
- .ini
- .xmp
- .txt
- .bat
- .pef (Pentax RAW, Codec installed, thumbnails displayed in XY)

Any magic switch I might have overlooked?


Thanks & cheers,

Those previews are currently only for images and PDF kind of files.

Hi Don,

thanks.

"Images" mean the typical ones like jpg, gif etc., and this restriction is just transient for some reasons?
The other way round, the FastStone codecs I've purchased will soon be utilized fully by XY?

I will donate at least a Kasten Kölsch the day I just need XY to do all my non-expert file-management jobs. What a wonderful day this will be ...

OK, so PEF works for thumbs and info panel preview (?), but not for floating preview?

EDIT: Tip: add pef to Configuration / Previewed Formats / Image files.

Yes.

EDIT: Tip: add pef to Configuration / Previewed Formats / Image files.

Did that with my standard installation and a fresh one before posting my question.

Can you send me a test PEF (or a download link to one)?

Works now!

Don has successfully fixed a faulty brain.

User error: Didn't add the .pef-format to the right category of Previewed Formats ("Text files" instead of "Image Files").

Excuse: I was excited like a little boy at X-Mas.

Thanks Don.

Well, thanks to your mistake I installed FastPictureViewer Codec Pack 3.2 and while testing I discovered a way to get BIGGER shell previews (original size! ) for all those obscure RAW image formats. A breakthrough!

I'm happy I could help you.

Downloading 3.2 now...

Just quick-sorted a bunch of images taken today - a major enhancement for my workflow!
