How to get the SU thumbnails back in Windows explorer?
-
Hi all,
I am experiencing an old issue. One that I had earlier, fixed it once but forgot how to
.I installed Sketchup on my new PC (vista 64bit) and the image thumbnails don't seem to work in the Windows explorer.
Is there a way to get them back? It is damn hard browsing for models when I can't have a visual preview of them.Thanks for your input.

hello kwistenbiebel,
you can use xnview to view your sketchup models, there is also an xnview ruby made by Burkhard

Good suggestion Dudecracked .Thank you.
...though it would be even better if it would work with the default windows explorer .
If I remember correctly, the issue can be solved by first installing SU 5 and after that SU 6.
However, this is a tedious workaround I am not up to...
I'd like to keep the new PC clean from useless installs. -
im not too familiar with vista os but the previews should be available after you install skp6, maybe it is something to do with file type/registration (not pretty sure
)
i myself like to keep programs in the computer to a minimum, you can use the no-install xnview, the zip file for the meantime, just be careful when you start it first to choose the .ini setting. -
Try this kwist: get a skp file, right click on it and go prperties. There should be a little thing that says 'opens with' make sure this is set to SU then restart your computer.

cd to the same dir as sketchup.exe.
Run-
regsvr32 ThumbsUp.dllIt should say succeeded.
If not, I seem to recall that since the dll is not 64-bit, it won't work in 64-bit Vista.
