Anyone have PowerToys Preview Handlers working in XYplorer with xlml, markdown, etc?


PowerToys v0.100.0 within File Explorer (Windows 11 - AArch64)

Yes, works fine
but in XY under Tools / Configuration / Previewed Formats
you have to remove the md extension from the list of Text Files
and add it to Document Files.

I'm assuming you are using a Windows AMD64. It doesn't work with Windows AArch64. I suspect it will not until an AArch64 variant of XY is released. Unless I can figure out how to install the Preview Handlers for AMD64.

I'm not using ARM Windows of course.
Therefore, it works for me, as I said.

IF PowerToys work for you in Explorer it should work in XY too
using the right configuration.
If it doesn't work in Explorer it won't work in XY of course.
