Unfortunately not. But at least Quickview works in archives.

This isn't currently supported. Why? Because of solid archives (RAR, SQX etc): The entire archive would have to be extracted to get just a single thumbnail from the last file. So if you enter a 500 MB backup which is sorted in a way that the last file in the archive appears at the top, you would have to wait until the entire 500MB have been extracted until you see the thumbnail...

Although it's of course true that solid archives are really a problem here this shouldn't be a reason not to support archives at all. The latest XNView also supports thumbs in archives (even SQX
).
What about a new function which informs TC about the archive type (solid or not solid).
Packers who don't support this function automatically don't support thumbnails in archives.
This would allow options like
[ ] Enable thumbs in archives
[ ] Enable thumbs even in solid archives
The 2nd option could support "by filetype options". These means I could allow thumbnail extraction only for SQX archives but not for RAR archives (for example) and only for files smaller 20 MB.
A simpler option which just limits the archive size would also be okay.
It's really too late for TC 7 but something that should be considered sooner or later.
