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.

You guys are pretty thin on the Xara ground, so maybe it isn't very high up the "to do" list.

We are. There's no deny it is the future though. Most apps have already 64bit-version along their 32-bit versions (e.g. Photoshop, XSI Softimage, Cubase). Adobe After Effects coming soon.

Alot of 32-bit drivers are currently rewritten for 64-bit machines as the demand is there. We won't be that minority soon anymore and you'll have to join the dark side very soon he he he
