Re: No photo thumbnails in raw format!

Sorry, I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. I used XYplorer extensively in the past so there are, as you said, many other file types for which I used it. The problem with thumbnails for Canon's "CRW" raw format came up when I inherited my brother's Canon G6 and started generating numerous raw files. At first I used XYplorer for all the other type files and WE for raw files. This continual switching among two file manager programs eventially became onerous, so last June I stopped using XYplorer except occasionally for specialized tasks such as changing all the file names in a folder.j_c_hallgren wrote:You're telling me that you don't have any other file types besides these problem ones on your sys that XY could be easily used for? I can understand not using it for RAW but for TXT, DOC, PDF, etc, and such, XY still is so much better than WE that I can't see why you leave XY unused...I personally still use WE for a handful of things, and even xplorer2 om rare occasion, but XY for 95+% of the file mngr tasks.sklain wrote:I used to use XYplorer constantly, but since this problem came up I've had to return to cludgy old Windows Explorer, with XYplorer remaining unused.
Based on the comments last May of "Admin"...
