XYplorer Beta Club

It doesn't create thumbnails after updating to 24.00 (tried latest 0100 update as well). I tried clearing cache, changed cache path to a new folder and now I see how it creates thumbnails for folders but not for images (which is weird cause the folder with images will have a thumbnail while all the images inside will have no thumbs).

I use XNView to view images, and now all the images have it's icon.

I had a couple of folders in my XY Catalog having custom icons. For example the caption for the folder "Music!|C:\Program Files\XYplorer\1436085017_Winamp.ico" supposed to have an icon and now it has XNView's icon.


I tried changing default program for images in Windows to built-in's Microsoft app and then Paint and it changed the icons but still no thumbnails.

I remember installing "PSD Codec" was helping me to see PSD file thumbnails so I reinstalled it and still can't see PSD thumbnails so I suppose the issue could be with the XYplorer update.

What can I do to bring back thumbs? I view all folders as "Thumbnails #1" and having no icons is a disaster. My settings for thumbs:



EDIT: I guess I should add I can see all the thumbnails in default Explorer (including PSD thumbs).

Did you already try a fresh instance (just for ruling out any configuration problem)? Just type fresh; into the address bar and press ENTER.

It works just fine! The last time I was configuring XY was like 5+ years ago Any ideas what can I try to fix it?

Not really. The settings look okay.

The problem is on all drives with all image types? Even if the cache it turned off?

Yep, on all drives. I can see thumbs on some of the video files. New video file will have no thumb.

Turning off cache didn't change anything (the folders still get thumbs).

Maybe there's a way to come close to the fresh state keeping most of the settings? Or adding setting of the current state partly to locate the issue. I'd try that if I could understand the way.

Have you set the tweak PreviewEarlyFactory? If yes set it to 0 by running this through the address bar:

I checked the config file, it's set to 0.

I found an old thread I started here on forum where you suggested this: PreviewShellIfNoneBetter=1
Also I was reading about this tweak on forum: PreviewPSDEmbeddedThumb=1
Switching them back to 0 didn't change anything as well.

Set the MaxArea or MaxFileSize tweaks to anything but 0?

Just tried it, no changes.

Did you set the NoThumb tweak to any extensions?

Or did you untick those image types in Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Category: Image Files?

; Tweak: make no thumbs: ext.ext
NoThumb=

I never touched it I guess. Should it be set to something?

But yeah everything is unticked in Previewed Formats. I've been trying previews but ended up turning them all off.

I ticked them all, no changes.

Oh I got it, I should tick them inside. Thanks for solving the issue. But please note it worked with no ticks before.
