PDF Preview showing up as text then 2nd time, it's OK

Hi, I created a video to show my issue.

https://youtu.be/Rc21Q6L1bg8

So far, I was trying to fix XYPlorer today to be more useful.

I implemented Preview pane in my workflow, which wasn't working, so I tweaked some settings, updated XYPlorer to latest version, uninstalled SumatraPDF and reinstalled the option ticked, so it works for preview hover and also now preview pane works.

But I still have this issue with some PDF not showing up.

It's browsing on a fast Evo 860 4TB SSD, and my boot drive is a 1TB NVME.

Thanks!

Are those pdf always the same (that are only rendered as simple text)?
If yes, upload one and post a link

No it's not the pdf files, it's a consistent issue throught multiple folders of old pdf files. Some are big, some are small a few hundred kilobytes.

Also, some large PDF freeze xyplorer, a box "switch to... Or retry" pops up and I have to wait ages, or force close.

I think this maybe a separate issue with hover thumbs.
