can't manage to show pdf, eps or ai files thumbnails, please help

Post by *bagou01 »

i love TC, does everything i need and has been doing so for now almost 15 years.
However i can't for the love of god, find a way to show thumbnails of pdf or ai or eps files.
I have tried slister, pdfview, sumatra etc....
pdfview has worked for me for the last 5 years but my laptop has been replaced and i can't get it to work again :(
i have spent two days already playing with the wincmd.ini file and other files, adding this string, that string, changing the position of that string etc but nothing worked. I kept getting the message that ghostcript couldnt be found (tried ghostscript 64 or 32, latest version as well as older ones).
Is there a simple way for me to display thumbnails for those files that someone could guide me through?

thanks very much in advance !

SumatraPDF lister plugins shows PDF and AI files in lister, quickview or thumbnail mode wihtout any problems for me. Have x64 latest TC, SumatraPDF plugin and viewer. For EPS files can be used for example ulister.

uLister works with all file type.
(Give a look on this thread and the related once: https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=51058)

SumatraPDF can also works if you also install and configure ghostscript. As you have to take care of version matching (ghostscript > 10.0.3 seems no fully compatible), older sumatra version needs ghostscript <= 9.54... You must do a regular install of ghostscript or have the binaries in the path.

SumatraPDF doesn't need GhostScript installed.

The SumatraPDF viewer mentioned here: https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=336677#p336677 supports thumbnails without Ghostscript.

If you rename the SumatraPDF.wlx* files to for example Sumatra-PDF.wlx* it can be installed along with the newer SumatraPDF viewer from here: https://totalcmd.net/plugring/wlx_TCSumatraPDF.html
