weEvil Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) I'm lookng to replace the picture viewer with something a little more beefed up.I found futurix imager: http://www.fximage.com/ (the site is getting retooled now)But is there any way to show thumbnails in explorer if I replace the default XP image viewer? Maybe with some registry tweaking, supplementary programs... I want a method to 'integrate' the viewer into explorer. It doesn't have to be futurix, any other will do.It has to be fast and able to show a bunch of formats (including PSDs and vector formats).Any tips would be appreciated. What should I bee looking for?I found something that can generate thumbnails for PDFs: http://www.filedudes.com/PDF_Thumbnail_Gen...shot-22141.htmlThis is the kind of work-around I can use.

DigeratiPrime Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I am using XnView (free open source) as my image viewer and I can still view thumbnails in explorer (although xnviews browser is faster). It shows psd files fine but svg requires a plugin.http://www.xnview.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weEvil Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 This is exactly what I was looking for. It even supports Xara files! NICE! And 64-bit for later!It looks nice so far. I have to test out the shell extension. Do you know any way to have a better zoom? Mine is very blocky.Can I use something like bilinear upsampling when zooming?

Its terribly slow.I'll stick with the standard block zoom.Happen to know how I can disable playback of media files? Its annoying when I get them confused with pictures since they both have thumbs.
