Is XnView the only way to view embedded thumbnails?

[qda]

for example, i know sketchup stores thumbnails in its model files, are they viewable somehow in thumbnail view in TC?

thanks

If XNView is able to show the thumbnail, then TC should be able too with the help of XNView. See Options / Thumbnails / Get from Irfan-/Xnview for: [filetype]

EDIT: ok i've switched to using xnview for thumbs, but embedded thumbs that DO show up in xnview do not show up in TC.. did i miss a step?

IView=1 in the ini
and the path is set correctly too

anyone?


_______________old:

if i am already using irfan view to show thumbnails, can i have xnview show other thumbnails simultaneously?

I dont think so.

[qda]

well.. read my above post again

embedded thumbs dont show even though i have them enabled in xnview thumbnail options

its checked where it says 'use embedded thumbnails'

Oh, why is your EDIT before the old post, it confused me.
Can I download a file of this type from somewhere for experimenting?

[qda]

oh, sorry about the 'edit' confusion!

btw, i really appreciate your help

here's one skb file that xnview DOES see a thumbnail with, i just tried it:

http://www.sketchup.com/forum/download.php/2,6832/santa_02.skb

in TC it just shows up as the default icon, not the thumbnail
and in XN it shows up as the embedded thumbnail perfectly.. a picture of santa..

[SanskritFritz]

Well my XNView does not recognise this file

[qda]

wow..

why does my xnview see the thumbnail then?

could it have something to do with the fact that Sketchup is installed on my machine?

im using latest official xnview 1.80.3 i think

Maybe
wincmd.ini
[Lister]
IViewAdditionalTypes?

Hello !
- Add in your <wincmd.ini> :

[Lister]
IviewAdditionalTypes=*.skb
Close ¦ restart TC
then you will see the file as thumb-nail in TC too…
