        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 😡

          Another bump from me. I'm in Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

          I know the GSU team is working hard in V8, so I hope they add the much needed 64-bit shell extension for Windows Explorer.

            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,

                    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?

                                  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 They where out of date.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 😄

                                          Good morning.

                                          I would like to comment that you lace them for unloading, they are not illegal.

                                          The drawees of the page are in the position of the author.

                                          June 18, 2010 - Version 2,17 liberated.

                                          2,17 liberated by the very author correspond to the version.

                                          I do not want them to misinterpret words to me, but my Englishman is very bad.

                                          You do it very well at this forum.
                                          I enchant myself and I learn of yours.

                                          It is not necessary to put the forum in harm's way, bringing illegal programs.

                                          I think than if the author takes it for free .Es it's good that we all know it.

                                          Can you consult the author?, On the version 2,17, that the present-day version is not 2,2,4

                                          What doing ?

                                          MysticThumbs generates miniatures of the types of imagery than many borne natively by Windows. You make it out of transparent form and in the background for Explorer for what an independent application form for a preview of imagery does not have to execute.

                                          Explorer receives treatment of a native plugin of Windows that it means that you do not have to do nothing more than moving in. This means that you do not have no new interface that to learn, to think or to accomplish any transaction with.

                                          You get the thumbnails for Photoshop, Targa, TIFF, DNG House, PCX, Windows Metafile, JPEG 2000, Maya, Google Sketchup, and many other formats, as well as based imagery Postscript *

                                          In order to get a complete list from compatible imagery to install the version of proof and check the control panel.

                                          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 -.

                                          Utilize the option of bringing up to date in a folder to update the imagery of the folder and your icon.

                                          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.

                                          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.
