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

Yup, 64 bit is really taking off now so it's time I think to get down and do Xara X native 64 bit app and address this no preview issue with the thumbnails. If a little company like DAZ3D can invest dollars into making a 64 bit of DAZ Studio then I don't see what the hold up is with this becoming a reality for Xara!!

By the way, DS3 64bit is really really cool!!

I'm running a 32-bit vista and have no problem with thunbnails.

The benefits for 3D applications are far greater than they are for something like Xara, so it's worth the effort for a company like Daz. I do quite a bit of 3D, 2D/2.5D compositing and real-time audio [on stage, in front of people] and I am in no hurry at all to move to 64 bit. I'll go when 64 bit supports more software/hardware than 32 bit does. Until then, my laptop is more than fast enough on 32 bit Windoze.
