I have a folder that has a bunch of symlinks in it to both pictures and video files, xy generates thumbnails for the pictures without issue but all the video files - regardless of codec - show a white file icon. If I browse to the folder that actually has the video files in it, it works fine.

Is there anything I can tweak to make this work or is it a bug/limitation in thumb generation? I'm using 17.40.0002.

But you're actually in a subfolder (that is a symlink) when you're trying to display thumbnails?

I've tried it and (known) video file formats and pictures are processed correctly

Post a screenshot of Menu - Tools - Configuration... - Preview - Thumbnails

So the folder that I'm in is a real folder, the files inside that folder are all symlinked individually.

Looks like a bug, individually symlinked video files don't show a thumbnail regardless on configuration

Confirmed. Fixed in next version.

Note that Explorer is even worse: No thumbs also for symlinked images.

That's exactly why I use XY Thanks for the quick fix!

Has this bug re-appeared or have I got something weird in my setup?
I tried the default config but it didn't help (running 24.20.0010 beta)
Shortcut .lnks provide a thumbnail for both files and folders but fail with symlinks (they are local symlinks not networked)

Fixed in next beta.

Thank you!!
You've saved me from having to manually hunt through thousands of folders

Wait what, I thought this was intended, this has been happening on my end since forever .
