Thumbnail preview in Windows 7 Explorer

[RayTheRat]

What are the extensions of the files you can't see? Are they standard graphics file types: .jpg, .gif, .png, etc?

I had a friend call me in a panic because all of his photos had disappeared. Turns out he'd changed the file names from something like "IMG_001.jpg" to "IMG_001.jpg edited by me on 11/11". It was a nice idea, but it completely messed up Windoze's file association system. When I had him rename the file in question to "IMG_001 edited by me on 11/11.jpg" everything worked out fine.

Just something to consider.

I am not sure it can help you but try this:
Right click on the file with logo of PSP>click on "Open with">click on "Choose default program">mark "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file">click on "Windows Photo Viewer">click OK

This will probably work for making the thumbnail viewer open the files, but if PSP is the program that's supposed to open them, that feature will be lost.

I prefer to open image files with IrfanView, since it's real quick and it's free. A quick Google search will take ya right to it. But I edit the "Edit With" option to send the editing function to PSP. I don't use the thumbnail preview myself because I have some directories with thousands of photos in them. Takes WAY too long to generate the list.

Thanks for your comments.

I have Irfan View and I use it a lot for my scrapping kits. As for the .psp, .tub etc. it shows just the background if the images are layered and have a BG.

I found out that even with Thumbnail Handler installed, images made with versions of PSP previous to 7 do not show. They should be re-saved (enven under the same name would be OK). I have tried it out and it works!!!!

The problem is that I have lots and lots of them and I am chasing for a script to do this job. Anybody has a hint where I could find one?

Thanks, Orna

I am not having a problem but I'm Using Win 7 32bit user using 64 bit say they can not get thumbnail to display. One user said the same as you re saving in psp made them visible then 1 after another became visible too. Just to clarify are you using pspthumbnailshell extension or the bot productions thumbnail handler. There was a problem with the Jasc one not registering correctly and there is a fix for that But as you see some yours must be registered

Would not just doing a batch process on each folder do It can even add a pre/post fix to the file name
