Re: thumbnails ordeal
I also have a similar problem but with Xara Photo & Graphic Designer (v16.1.1.56358) after installing and trying DP+.
I've tried the following suggestions:
a) changed the file association option back and forth using XaReg v2.5
b) run as Administrator
c) changed the icon view size in Windows explorer
d) changed back and forth the file association in Windows explorer (right click 'open with' option). The file icons do change across the system with each new association, but not with a thumbnail image.
e) reset the icon cache using .bat file (as per Chris M's post) and rebooted
Personally I also don't want the faff of reinstalling and setting up the UI, (I think I might also lose the last update) so I'm going to live with it! I can still view .xar file thumbnails using the XnViewMP app (freeware for private non-commercial use).
