(TRICK) To re-enable skp file preview
-
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 ...

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 They where out of date.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

Characteristics
MysticThumbs has a control panel that he allows to adjust the configuration of miniature generation, as well as accomplishing a series of another shows.
The transparency of support. You generate miniatures for each format of file that MysticThumbs can define the way:
There is no transparency
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.
Scale Up - it enables the generation of miniatures of complete size for Vista for little imagery and Windows 7 for imagery in more big miniature than the one belonging to the image.
I smashed miniature obvious - I smashed it of entire miniatures to deactivate easily.
Going back to charge the image Per - charging the miniature image of imagery if necessary.
Transparency of the image Per utilize this option of contextual menu to replace the predeterminate configuration - some imagery might not to conform with transparency options by default for that type of image -.
Equipamiento's folder icon.
Dress and Windows 7 no going back to charge the icon of folder for the image's folders very well.
Utilize the option of bringing up to date in a folder to update the imagery of the folder and your icon.
The generated miniatures of imagery update his icon of principal folder themselves automatically.
Tray of system applcation to report that miniatures are being generated by MysticThumbs. I access the control panel quickly for the options.
Leant Windows type improves her of image. MysticThumbs can replace the configuration predetermined of Windows that you admit the types of image ( jpeg, gif, tiff ) in order that you may obtain MysticThumbs's benefits characteristic such like the transparency, the maximum size of image, etc

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).

I recently came across sage thumbs (free) which uses XNview libraries to view thumbnails right in explorer in windows 7 64bit.
http://code.google.com/p/sagethumbs/It works well with PSD files, and all sorts of others, but skp files don't seem to be supported yet. I tried contacting the developer of sage thumbs (I think I contacted the right guy) and he just forwarded me to the xnview forums...
http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=19690&p=82964#p82964It seems like someone is trying to get skethcup to be supported, but I can't quite figure out where it's standing right now, I'll keep at it. anyway, If anybody else would like to pour their two cents into those forums to get it going... go for it!
