Win 8.1 has built in RAW support. How do I make XY use that?

Hi,
the Win 8.1 Explorer can generate thumbnails for *.NEF files (and probably other RAW formats) without installing any additional programs.
But in XYplorer only the file type icon is displayed. Somehow, XY does not take advantage of this built-in support.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to change the config somehow?
Thanks in advance!

Have you ticked
Configuration | Thumbnails | Enable shell thumbnails?
Interesting info BTW, I will soon have 8.1 here for testing...

Yes that option is enabled and works for other file formats, such as JPG. But not for NEF.
I assume this is a feature of all 8.x versions, but I have never used 8.0, so I cannot be sure.

Also no preview of NEF (F11)?

Same behavior: F11 works for JPG, but not for NEF.

Well, cannot explain it now. Need Win8.1 first.

Any update on when we can expect a fix for the RAW issues? Thanks!

Thanks for the bump, but it came too early. Too many other things to do...
