HELP. My thumbnails are gone!

[Acorn]

My go-to approach is not to rely on Windows as it is very chuggy and throws hissy-fits like this all to often.

Instead, I use Everything, https://www.voidtools.com, and toggle from Details (Ctrl+Shift+6) to Thumbnails (Ctrl+Shift+1 / +2 / +3).
All blisteringly fast.

Ideal for viewing local cache XAR templates and components.

Nice to know Acorn. Thank you.

My thumbnails also have gone AWOL ... Not recently, I hasten to add ... Probably 18 months ago, and nothing I've done - re-registering DLL's etc. has recovered them.

Typically I drag XAR's into my workspace from Zoner Photo Studio (I have an old perpetual licence), that works well for me, so not a deal breaker.

@GaryP - now you mention it, that sounds familiar, come up before I think

@Acorn - that looks interesting

perversely maybe, I have never bothered much with thumbnails for anything other than images

Thank you, all.

I will persevere in the morning.

Knee is arthritic, wears me out, scheduled surgery in Feb, damn it all.

I'll be.....! Never knew that option existed in Everything and I use the app every day!

For thumbnail views, I use Mystic Thumbs as it's continuously expanded and includes many file formats.
