SU Thumbnail View on Windows 7 Question
-
I dont know if anyone else has experienced this problem, but I just got a 64bit windows 7 system and now I cant see previews of my SU models in my file folders when I switch the view type to thumdnail view. Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know of a solution?
It is just very important to my workflow because it is so much easier to see a preview of your model in the file folder before you commit to opening the file. Hope there is a way to fix this. Thanks in advance for any help. -
apparently it doesn't work in 64bit OS. see this http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=16015&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=thumbnail

You will see thumbnails when using file dialogs from within 32bi applications. So while you use the SketchUp file dialogs you will be able to see thumbs.

thanks guys. Yeah thomthom your right...I guess I have to resort to importing models and seeing the thumbnails there. Hopefully they fix that somehow because that is sort of a pain in the butt to not be able to preview your files while searching our server. Thanks for the responses guys.

Hi All
Just downloaded XnView and installed on Windows 7 64bit with no problem.
You can browse SU thumbnails and just drag and drop in SU - works like a charm!

I have Win 7 and Vista (2 PC's) and followed the instructions in the previous post mentioned.

Start -> run...
type "cmd" and then press "return"navigate into your sketchup root directory by typing for example:
"cd C:\program files\google\sketchup 6" and press "return"now you're in your sketchup6 root folder. Type:
"regsvr32 thumbsup.dll" and press "return".This works in Win7 and Vista - providing that you run CMD as administrator.
To do this type CMD in the search box on the start menu, when it appears at the top of the list instead of just pressing 'Enter' (says Return in above quote) press the 'CTL + Shift + Enter' keys together to launch as Administrator.

You're running 32bit Windows aren't you?

Sorry, I should have mentioned it.
Yes, they are both 32 bit. -

Yes, they are both 32 bit.It thought so - because on 64bit that won't work.

I've talked to the developer of that software. I gave him the info I knew about the .skp file format and he has already implemented .skp support.
When he release it I encourage people to give him a little donation for his work.
