Illustrator (.ai), Photoshop (.psd), Adobe file extension preview handler

I'm curious what XYP is using for the Adobe preview handler for Illustrator (.ai), Photoshop (.psd), Adobe file extensions, etc?
I use a search application "Everything" but seems to break while attempting to search .ai and .psd files.

Find it out?
Code: Select all
$ext = "ai"; text get("previewhandler", $ext) . <crlf 2> . "UD prev. handler(s): " . getkey("UserDefinedPreviewHandlers", "Settings") . <crlf 2> . "Associated app: " . get("assoc", $ext);
etc.

What?

I also use Everything and there are no problems to find and handle .ai and .psd files.

I was curious about what XYP uses as a handler, as I’ve been struggling with thumbnail previews constantly breaking, always showing a blank white preview, no matter which codec software I try, be it SageThumbs, PSDCodecs, and MysticThumbs. Interestingly, XYP manages to display around 70% of .ai and .psd thumbnail previews, which is far better than other applications that consistently fail, even without codecs installed. I just purchased the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack the other day but doesn't display all previews.
Aside from that, I don't like XYP has to constantly search every drive searching for files, ext, etc, even after switching tabs.
