XYplorer Beta Club

Hi and welcome to the club!

For XY you need to also install the 32-bit version of QuickViewPlus.

Don

Just a quick test (Win 7 x64, current XY beta, QVP 13.0.0 x86) -> No change (same issue)

On my system this is the GUID of the MSG-associated preview handler: {53BEDF0B-4E5B-4183-8DC9-B844344FA104}
However, it does not work because I don't have Outlook installed.

In the next version I will add a way to find out which preview handler (GUID) is associated to any filetype. Later I will add a way to select a desired handler by GUID.

Would be really awesome if you're able to take this a step further so that we can provide DLLs without them needing to be registered on the system. Thus enabling XY to provide portable previewing powers.

Sure, if it's technically possible (dunno) I will do it.

Hi (sorry I missed these replies because I wasn't subscribed to thread)

This is great if you are fixing this!! This issue stops me from using XYplorer.
Do you have a sense of the time frame?

You also recommended I use QuickViewPlus 32bit. I had issues with the 32bit version. If you still think that will work, I will try again. It sounds like the other user confirmed it does not solve the issue. Note I am on 64bit Win10 w 32Bid Outlook. I have .msg preview working natively in Explorer and Dir Opus. I also have enhanced preview via QVP working on Explorer and Dir Opus.

Thanks

In the latest beta version, run this through the address bar: Post the return if any. Thanks.

Wow! I'm impressed! You guys are speedy!

Thanks so much I'll try later today

Hi

I just tried and get this error...

"previewhandler"? No such info!
Check your spelling.

My trial version says its the latest (installed a few days ago), when I do a "Check for updates". Should I be using a different version? Where do I get it?

Thanks

Beta versions are available ONLY here in the forum. Get this one: viewtopic.php?p=145319#p145319

Ok, I got the beta and ran the script. It returns this:

{8B1E92F5-AC8E-4DAB-9804-3C01AA112F17}

No change to the preview, however

No change coded yet. Yet!

Now your {8B1E92F5-AC8E-4DAB-9804-3C01AA112F17} is completely unknown to google. Maybe it's from QVP. But why doesn't it work?

The commonly found GUIDs for this handler are these:
{53BEDF0B-4E5B-4183-8DC9-B844344FA104} -- Pre Office 10
{435FDBA0-964C-43A7-8AFF-CC94E21B2249} -- Office 10

I will think about a way to actively inject a GUID into the process...

I ran some more tests:

1) Removed QVP and ran your script:

{53BEDF0B-4E5B-4183-8DC9-B844344FA104}
MAPI Mail Previewer
@%systemroot%\system32\mssvp.dll,-127

2) Installed 32 bit QVP: It has issues on my 64bit PC

3) Removed and installed 64bit QVP and ran your script:

{8B1E92F5-AC8E-4DAB-9804-3C01AA112F17}

Im just giving this to you in case it helps you or others.

Thanks

Do you think this will happen, so QuickView Plus can work? This issue stops me from using your program.

Thanks!!

You said:

But XY will only work with 32 bit QVP. So there is no chance here for you.
