(TRICK) To re-enable skp file preview
-
No - You can't run the 32bit explorer.exe in the final W7 either.

Hi guys,
I'm using Win 7 64 bit and my previews are also lost.
Is there a workaround / solution?Kind regards,
Ward -
I'm going to bump this topic because I'm really curious as to whether this problem has been solved in the released versions of Windows 7. Hey Google, are you watching this? We want our preview back
-
I have a work around..just noticed it.
I have Skp previews in FreeCommander....running on Win7 64...
-
Thanks for bumping this guys. I saw Thom's suggestion of creating a shortcut to explorer on the desktop and it works a treat. Finally I have preview thumbnails of all my SU models and components. Hurrah!
-
Hmm.. I shouldn't have got so happy so soon. Whilst using Thom's desktop shortcut does enable me to view SU thumbnails, I'm finding Explorer constantly crashes. I was trying to sort out all my components into new folders but had to give up because it would crash every time I tried to do anything. Is there a fix for this?
-
what i'm doing is that when i want to view some of the su file i open a new sketchup window and i click open, when the whindow pop up i click the view menu to a large icon that's it you will see your su file with preview ...

FYO, I came across an app that does .skp thumbnails and .skm thumbnails on both 32 and 64bit systems.

Yes - It's great, .skp and skm - I personally requested it.
Well worth the money.I removed the direct links to the downloads. They where out of date. He's got regular updates, so it's best to just link to his site. Also, it's good manners not to hotlink other sites resources + it's Donationware so I'm sure he'd like people who download to actually read about the product and see the donation button.

mystic thumbs is well worth the $15 or whatever it's going for. I did the trial awhile back and loved it. Finally got around to buying it recently and it's wonderful. The only thing that surprised me was that it doesn't work with .hdr's, but I emailed the owner and he said that it'll be coming very soon

Reveal - so that the folder, of table, behind the miniature appear
Damero - you give him a backdrop behind the miniature emblems that you show the areas or reveal transparent.
The maximum size of the image - the improvement of the performance to avoid the generation of miniatures for too big imagery. Definable for each kind of file.

I agree totally with you.

Any alternatives to Mystic Thumbs? I tried it and it gave me a couple of problems including freeze-ups... so if you guys have found any other way, I would be grateful to know it.
Also, it seems that Mystic Thumbs does not uninstall completely, as I still have some thumbnails it generated and now I'm in a worse situation than before installing it, as now I can't see thumbnails in the File > Open window, whereas before I was always able to see thumbnails in this window.

I've heard, but haven't used http://www.xnview.com/
-
xnview works very well, but it does require a bit of a workflow change that I just couldn't get used to. Basically you have to start using it rather than windows explorer to see the thumbnails. It's worth a shot if Mystic Thumbs didn't work for you (which is what I use on my Win7 machine).
