I've hit a bit of a snag and could really use some help. I've got a bunch of photos in HEIC format, and I'm struggling to view heic files on Windows 10 (and potentially Windows 11) setup. It seems like my current setup just isn't cutting it for these types of files. I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for a best HEIC viewer that's compatible with Windows 10 or 11? I'm looking for something straightforward and user-friendly since I'm not exactly a tech wizard. Any advice or suggestions would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance!

After a bit of research and trying out a few different applications, I found a couple of solutions that worked well for me. First, I discovered that Microsoft actually offers a HEIC file extension support in the Microsoft Store, which, once installed, it seems doesn't allow me to view HEIC files directly in the Windows Photos app, I don't why.

I also tried out a third-party app called TunesBro HEIC converter. It not only let me view HEIC files seamlessly but also offered the option to convert them to JPG if needed. This was super handy for sharing photos with friends who couldn't view HEIC files or for uploading to websites that only accept JPG.

Google Photos is a popular photo sharing and storage service developed by Google. It allows users to upload, share, and manage their photos and videos from any device. It supports a wide range of photo and video formats, including the High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIC). HEIC is a format used by Apple's iOS devices for storing high-quality images in smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats like JPEG. However, HEIC is not as widely supported on non-Apple platforms, which can create challenges when sharing or viewing these files.

Once uploaded, Google Photos automatically converts HEIC files to a compatible format for easy viewing across all devices. Simply click or tap on an image to view it. You can also use Google Photos' editing tools to enhance your images.

Encouraged by that success, I also decided to give TunesBro HEIC Converter a shot, especially since I often need to convert photos for sharing with friends and family or for use on websites. The ability to easily convert HEIC files to JPG has been a game changer for me. It's incredibly user-friendly and the batch conversion feature has saved me so much time.

@DemoCr785 I have installed the hevc and heic additions as Microsoft suggests. However, the photos created by modern cameras and phones support wider dynamic range than 8 bits, and these image are not supported yet bu this plugin it seems.

My Outlook was updated to the newest version a few days ago and I'm having issues with opening PDF attachments in my default PDF viewer. Before, you could click the attachment in the email and get a preview but if you were to fully open the attachment it would open in my default application. Since the update, when i click on the attachment it pulls up the preview but the only way to actually open it is to save it to OneDrive, download to my computer, or print. In most cases I need to open the full attachment but not necessarily need to save it. Just review in detail and the preview is not working well enough for me. I'm not even able to rotate using the right-click and rotate. How can I change this to open in my default viewer and not in the message preview only?

Once you have adjusted these settings, try opening a PDF attachment in Outlook again. It should now open in your default PDF viewer instead of just displaying the preview. You should be able to review the attachment in detail, rotate pages, and perform other functions available in your PDF viewer.

I have guided the topic through two different AI's because I am not familiar with the PDF-XChange Editor Version 9.0 and its possibilities or effects under Windows 11. Here are a few suggestions from the AI's software.

@NikolinoDE I used the "Feedback" feature to complain about this issue. The answer was that the feature is not available, but might be in future releases.
I guess we can stop looking for a solution now. Thanks for your help anyway.

There is a whole raft of controls that Microsoft has taken away, seemingly entirely arbitrarily - starting with deleting the "File" menu and removing your choice of where downloads should be saved. Fundamental and infuriating changes. @ds_user

It is daft that I have my default pdf app set to Microsoft Edge, but that does not allow Outlook to preview them! All within Microsoft 365, they just won't talk to each other. I can double click to open them, but not preview. Setting the default to Adobe just makes it more cumbersome.


The steps I followed:
Open Outlook and go to the "File" tab at the top left corner of the window.
In the File menu, click on "Options."
In the Outlook Options window, select the "Trust Center" tab.
Click on the "Trust Center Settings..." button.
In the Trust Center window, select the "Attachment Handling" option on the left side.
Under the "Attachment and Document Previewers" section, locate the entry for PDF files (extension .pdf) and make sure it is set to "Adobe Acrobat Document" or your preferred PDF viewer.
If the correct program is already selected, you can try toggling the setting off and back on by unchecking and rechecking the checkbox.
Click "OK" to save the changes and close the Trust Center window.
Click "OK" again to close the Outlook Options window.
Then:
Clear Outlook temporary files: Clearing temporary files associated with Outlook might help resolve any cached data causing the issue.
Close Outlook.
Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
Type %localappdata%\Microsoft\Outlook and press Enter.
Delete all the files and folders within the Outlook folder.
Restart Outlook and check if the issue persists.

So apparently the "New" Outlook is a big piece of Trash. It's like using Google mail. Good Job MS. If I want to play on the web I'll get on the Web. If I paying for software I want to use software. Please let me know why I'm wrong.

I am thinking of a very simple version of rhino, where users only can Pan, rotate, zoom, measure, turn layers/objects on/off, these kind of things, so basicly only the commands where you cannot change the model.

This is also a nice time-saver for me. I can avoid generating a dozen different screen captures or renderings, and then organizing them into a presentation. I just send out a one page 3D PDF for progress review whenever needed.

I agree totally, it is way to difficult for most clients.
@mcNeel: I think it is good for your business to have some kind of viewer, this is a great way for customers to start working with Rhino on a low level base.

Grabcad Workbench is pretty cool as well. You get 2 projects for free, with some other limitations. This you have to invite other to join the projects. The nice thing about workbench is you can see the assembly structure and do exploded views right on the fly, along with some rudimentary markups and measuring.

They are not without issues though.The PDF preview is never as good as the Rhino viewport, shiny materials etc are never displayed correctly. There is no dimensioning tools. Layer structure is also not very intuitively presented.

Simlab has a free viewer for ios & android which uses their own .ZIM format. While you need to have the Simlab software to create the ZIM file, this has some advantage over using OBJ. Because ZIM is binary, the files are much smaller.

That is interesting!
Keep us updated here.
I think it would be great to have a complied version for us to test if you want feedback.
Like myself many here will have no clue how to compile it ourselves.

I have installed Splunk on a Linux box and is listening for incoming on 9997. Our linux boxes send its syslog to it and work fine.
The Windows boxes however do not send any event viewer logs. I installed SplunkForwarder on it and followed the prompts where I entered the Receiver server and port 9997. Also restarted the splunk service just in case.
What additional configurations are to be done to ensure Event Viewer logs/AD monitoring start to populate my Splunk sitting on the Linux box.
I'm able to telnet to 9997 from Windows to Linux so it is not an access issue.

Hey, I am wondoring How Can I send Log files from linux to windows? I downloaded splunk in windows and forwarder in linux. I can telnet 9997 from linux to windows but I don't know how to send a files. can anybody help me with it?

It is not stricte Affinity topic but kinda related. I'm using Fast Stone Image Viewer in my "workflow" and I'm addicted by simplicity of this software and full-screen preview which is very importand thing for me. BUT this soft does not support viewing of Affinity formats (any vector formats btw) and since Designer is my number one weapon I'm looking for something with ability to display at least THUMBNAILS of graphic files (like Windows file explorer do).

OK - i know I'm maybe demanding so it is not even neccesary to opening files by viewer but i want to see thumbnails to have ensurance the folder with Affinity files is not empty when I'm browsing files with image viewer.

Thanks for reply. Yes, I'm using Explorer sometimes but generally I prefer Total Commander as a file manager and Faststone Image Viewer as photo/image browser. TC is able to show thumbnails but FIV is very, very convenient if I need to browse images (and does not show Affinity files at all).
