Thumbnails for crw and thm files.

[Scott]

Is there a way to get thumbnails for these files for canon digital cameras? I've checked the option "Get from Irfran..." and have Irfanview as my viewer, but still don't get thumbnails. Thanks. Scott

Hello, welcome on board ! (sorry, I forgot )
¤ XnView supports *.crw files at reading.
¤ About *.thm, I ought ask for a support in a next version (if planned), and will report the result here…

 Kind regards,

Thank you, Claude. I tried making making Xnview the viewer, but thumbnails did not show up in TC even though I could read the files with Xnview. Same with Irfanview. Has anyone been able to get these files to show up as thumbnails? Thanks. Scott

Hi again,
- Please, could you place a small sample on a reachable URL, or any other way? I could test here under several Win (98 SE, XP-Pro…) and friends of the forum under Win 2K / NT…
- I linked that thread in the XnView-forum too EDIT : … and got a reply :

Les fichiers .THM sont des aperçus de vidéos ou des image RAW. Le format des .THM est JPG. Alors il faut désactiver 'Outils > Options > Parcourir > Liste de fichiers > Reconnaissance uniquement par extension'. Après ce devrait fonctionner...

English :
« *.thm files are previews of videos or RAW images. Their (real) format is JPG. So, you must disable Tools menu or button “Options” >> “Browser” >> “File list” >> “Recognize only by extension”. Then, that might work… »

Scott,
a) try using JpegThumbs - https://plugins.ghisler.com/lsplugins/jpegthumbs.zip
b) if using XnView, try adding *.crw and *.thm to wincmd.ini - [Lister] - IviewAdditionalTypes. (See also Help - Section 4b.)

Thanks for the suggestions. This works:

[Extensions]
crw=C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe ^.crw

or else use konvertor (www.konvertor.net/indexe.html)

Scott,

[Extensions]
crw=C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe ^.crw

And this enabled CRW thumbnails in TC?

TIA

crw=C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe ^.crw
And this enabled CRW thumbnails in TC?

for me this not work, it allow view *.crw in external viewer (Alt+F3) only
But IviewAdditionalTypes=*.crw help to view thumbs (but is so sloooow )and show *.crw in internal lister...

Thanks to All for good topic and for the suggestions.

Sorry! I tried so many combinations, I made a mistake on which lines in the wincmd.ini program made it work. After more careful experimentation, here is what I find works to show thumbnails for either Canon crw files or Canon thm files. Since the thm is just a thumbnail of the crw file, you only need to see one if them. If you prefer to see only the thm, change *.crw to *.thm below. Scott

[Configuration]
Viewer=C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe
[Lister]
IView=1
IViewPath=C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe
IviewAdditionalTypes=*.crw
