Showing Alibre file thumbnails in M-Files preview pane

[albie0803]

Is there a way to get Alibre thumbnails/icons to show in the preview pane in M-Files explorer? They show ok in std windows folders?

Ok, after a little more exploration I notice that the part doesn't show in the Windows preview pane like pdf and jpg files do, which also show in the M-Files preview pane.

Surely if the item can be shown in a thumbnail/icon already then a windows preview viewer shouldn't be too hard.

Maybe.............

They should though. Especially if you have set it to show icons. Perhaps something else is amiss...

It doesn't show a preview, because there is no previewer available for Alibre Design. Previews and Thumbnails are not the same thing at all.

You can get Thumbnails to show in M-Files views, but they'll only show at larger icon sizes - I think M-Files requires them to be set one size above where Windows normally start to display thumbnails.
