Does not display thumbnails of graphic files.

Post by _Skywolker_ »

Hello.
After explorer crash, voidtools does not display thumbnails of graphic files. (In the explorer itself, the files are displayed)
Voidtools restarting doesn't help !!!
Only restarting the computer helps.
What could be the cause of this problem ? Is there a way to fix this voidtools behavior ?

Everything uses the OS to render thumbnails.



Please try enabling shell_max_path:
This will prevent Everything rendering icons with really long paths which can cause issues with some thumbnail shell extensions.
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    shell
  • Select: shell_max_path
  • Set the value to: true
  • Click OK.


Everything uses IShellItemImageFactory or IExtractImage to gather thumbnails.
Please try disabling one or the other:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    shell
  • Select: shell_item_image_factory
  • Set the value to: false
    -or-
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    extract
  • Select: extract_image
  • Set the value to: false
  • Click OK.
Disabling both will disable thumbnails.



To disable thumbnails in Everything:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    thumbnail
  • Select: thumbnails
  • Set the value to: false
  • Click OK.


Please try clearing your Windows Explorer thumbnail cache.



Please try ShellExView to manage thumbnail shell extensions.
