Since you're pro....would you perchance also know how to make the thumbnail preview larger. It's no worse than it is in Win. Eplorer...but have also wanted to make the view better since AutoCAD modified their previewer years ago.

Pro? def not, anyway, I have never used the previewer you're talking about, so probz won't be much help, but a couple suggestions, try Floating preview F11 instead or try using screen magnifier.

Maybe the preview handler is just available in 64-bit. Try to check this: Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Fall back to preview handlers of the other bitness

admin, thanks for your information. I'm not sure why you sent this email. I received some good info already.
one followup question i have is when using f11, sometimes the preview as I zoom goes off the screen. Is there a way to pan once zoomed?
Also, is there a way to brighten the thumbnail?

1) Whoops. I replied to your last post on page 1 of this thread. Did not see that you already had replies on the next page.
2) Right-button drag with the mouse should work.
3) Brighten? Only the background.
