Ai Thumbnail Viewer

[Yolette Langevin]

When I launch Creo Elements/Pro 5 (Wildfire 5) for the first time, I am prompted to install the thumbnail viewer.
What does this viewer do?
It was not in Wildfire 3, which is our currently-deployed release.

When I deploy WF5/CEP5, I do not want the users to see this prompt.
If the viewer is needed, I will arrange to have it installed silently.
If it is not needed, I would like to block the install prompt.

It's actually nice to get a preview of a file without having to actually select it and expand the viewer. You can also have a thumbnail image pop up within the model tree by hovering your cursor on the icon in the same manner. These behaviors arecontrolled by a config option. Install the viewerto eliminate the annoying prompt and then you can disable thumbnail popups byusing the config option: display_popup_viewer set to no. Between thumbnail images and the search tool for filtering files in the File Open dialog box, it is a time saver for many users.

I need help. Rhino 5 64 bit - Win7 64 pro
I had the RhinoThumbView_x64 working ok, then I must have done some registry cleanup, install (I installed an unistallder software that was too bossy, deleted it) and now no more thumbnails for my rhino files.
I have so far:

I'm looking for a graphic software, which will be able to preview pdn files in a form of thumbnails. Of course it would be nice, if instead it worked in the file manager since it is win-10 store application. Do you have any recommendation? I wish I missed something.

Thanks @Rick Brewster for your time. I'm running 4.2.8 (Final 4.208.7276.37737) - with a little donation I made couple days ago On my File Explorer I'm getting PDN icons (picture+brush). Is there anything wrong with my installation? Maybe I should reinstall Windows Store version?

Thanks @Rick Brewster - you just made my day! I copied test folder to local Desktop and it shows the thumbs just fine. I'm not running store version yet - I prefer to be in control of the updates (as much as I can). I checked - the OneDrive files are even available locally, so this may be another issue with file explorer or file system.

Today I got to the bottom of this. It's Onedrive files on demand. Thumbnail handling outside of a onedrive folder always works perfectly. Thumbnail handling within a OneDrive synced folder appears broken.

It is connected with Onedrive Files on demand. If you activate files on demand (Onedrive settings->Files on demand), Windows explorer downloads thumbnails from the Onedrive cloud service instead of creating them from local files, even if the files are stored locally. The cloud service doesn't seem to have a thumbnail handler for *.pdn files, so no thumbnail is downloaded and the generic icon is displayed.

Solution: deactivate Onedrive Files on demand in the Onedrive Settings app. Thumbnail downloading from the cloud is immediately replaced with local thumbnail generating. You see the difference immediately after you uncheck this setting.

I don't know if this is a standard feature of slic3r or something Prusa have added, but searching google and this forum didn't seem to give any relevant results. At least if I knew the format I could write my own viewer.

I think the hardest part of writing the application will be to properly integrate with Explorer to present yourself as the thumbnail handler for .gcode files, guessing it'll be some COM garbage but have not personally tried.

I wrote a standalone application, it was quite straightforward. It displays the thumbnail and some other bits of info like the print time. It can also generate the png as separate files, so Windows preview can display them.

When registered it is used for *.gco and *.gcode files, checks the first 1000 lines to find a thumbnail and if it is present, then it gets the last of them (there can be multiple, my tests shoved two being generated, the first being 16x16px, probably for file-list preview) and returns it as the thumbnail image.

Currently there are no other info extracted but the SharpShell library I used to implement it allows another extensions modifying the tooltips, properties etc. so expected time, filament length and for example profile used might be added later.

I ran the install from your github link above, and after some of your assistance, I now have images for my gcode files ... which helps me find files much easier ...I really appreciate your efforts !!!

If I select plant tool, then go to 'plant style' along the top bar to select a different plant, it opens something which looks a bit like the resource browser (but isn't, its the plant style library). I can see icons of various plants. If I click on one the enlarged 2D image appears in the top right thumbnail quick-viewer. There are greyed out options buttons for the other viewing options, but they can't be selected. Is this normal? It seems the only way to see the 3D image is to actually place the plant in the plan, or to separately go to resource browser and select a different view there (which is time consuming when you want to browse through plants to find something that looks a certain way)

Anyone have a favorite mov viewer that shows contact pages of thumbnails to scan through, for rapidly being able to scan through mov screecaps and when clicked on, quickly plays the mov in a movie player?

You are right! Adobe Bridge plays them, but not very confortable program.
I try to convert every mov I have to mov with photo jpeg compression, so windows 7 makes tumbnails for them. But again this codec is only for those clips that does not have alpha channel embeded.
I hope this helps a bit.

I see many topics on this forum regarding correct thumbnails for pdf and eps and all of them don't have clear way how to make things done. So I want to show how to enable thumbnails of eps, pdf and many image formats for both 64 and 32 bit.

Tracker site is misleading as it states viewer is free on the one place and offer just to try it for free on another. But you can use this software for free indeed, the only difference is advanced features.

Now you will have thumbnails for a lot of image and postscript formats within DOpus. AI preview works only if file was saved with pdf compatibility. SageThumbs offer pdf preview option too, but it is unstable, it's better to use XChange for this.

That might be because PDF-XChange limits the size, or it might be because it is using an embedded thumbnail within the PDF files which is too small. So it could also be due to the software that creates the PDF files, rather than PDF-XChange.

I wanted to add a cool new feature to my website that allows for clickable popup java-script thumbnails using HighSlide. I have thoroughly searched stackoverflow, google, and the forum on highslide for a solution to my problem to no avail.

Upon my examination of other people who have had a similar error, they needed to ensure that all paths to the files were setup correctly, which I have double checked. I am still new to coding, so if anyone could give me some pointers, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thumbcache Viewer allows you to extract thumbnail images from the thumbcache_*.db and iconcache_*.db database files found on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11. The program comes in two flavors: a graphical user interface and command-line interface.

The main menu will allow you to save entries, export entries to a CSV (comma-separated values) file, remove entries from the list (the database is not modified), hide 0 byte entries, verify CRC-64 header and data checksums, and map files to entry hashes. Clicking on an entry in the list will display it (if it's an image) in a separate window.

When verifying entries, mismatched checksums will be displayed in red along with the correct value. It's not that common to see unless the database has been overwritten or truncated. Another thing to note is that mapping files by scanning directories must be done on the same computer system in which the database was generated. This ensures that the correct inputs can be hashed to compare against the entry hash in the database.

Prior to Windows 11, Windows Search stored information in an Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) database. Windows Search on Windows 11 uses SQLite. To map Windows Search databases (Windows.db) from Windows 11, you will either need to run the program within a Windows 11 system, or download the appropriate sqlite3.dll from www.sqlite.org. Mapping files using Windows.edb (ESE database) should be done on an operating system that shares the same or newer operating system version in which the Windows.edb was generated.

Mapped entries that included extended information while searching the Windows.edb/Windows.db will be displayed in green. The Extended Information window may include timestamps, file paths, and snippets of text.

Some of the column headers for the list can be clicked (while pressing Ctrl) and the entries below them will change. If you press Ctrl and click the Data Size column, for example, the entries will change from displaying in kilobytes, to simply bytes. Likewise, the Cache Entry Offset column will change from bytes, to kilobytes. The three hash columns (Data Checksum, Header Checksum, and Cache Entry Hash) will change from lowercase, to uppercase.

When an item is selected, an image window will pop up to preview the thumbnail. You can move the image around the window with the mouse or arrow keys. Each arrow key will move the image 1 pixel in that direction. By holding Ctrl and pressing an arrow key, the image will move 5 pixels. By holding Shift and pressing an arrow key, the image will move 25 pixels.

To scale the image you can press the + or - keys to zoom in or out respectively. If you have a mouse wheel, you can scroll forward to zoom in, or scroll back to zoom out. If you don't have a mouse wheel, you can hold the right mouse button down and click the left mouse button to zoom in, or hold the left mouse button down and click the right mouse button to zoom out. Confused?
