Just upgraded to Pro and....

Well, nice to see it all looks familiar but the thumbnails on the desktop and in folders are still broken and not showing contents. Why is this not fixed yet?? It's quite annoying to have to guess what's in a file when you have literally 100's of them!!

And no, doing that work around that we had to do in V4 was not a good fix, it never stuck and so I'm not going through all that again!!

Thanks for the help, if there is any about this.

That must be local to your system Richard, all my thumbnails work just fine through versions 3, 4 and 5.

Highly doubtful since all the other programs that are able to show thumbnails work just fine for me, including ones on the desktop. I run Vista Pro, SP2

... I can't see thumbnails for .xar or .web either.

Richard, Vista Pro? Do you mean Vista Ultimate?

All 32bit versions should show .xar .web thumbnail icons unless there is a local issue.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 64bit do not show thumbnail icons.
I don't recall hearing from Xara why this is.

... that would explain it - I'm running Vista 64bit. Given that 64bit enables the computer to address more RAM, and folk doing graphic/image stuff find lots of RAM quite handy, Xara must have a very good reason for depriving us 64bitters of this useful feature.
