PDF Thumbnails Problem on TC8.0-B5

Post by *HBB »

Win7-64 with Adobe Reader 9.4.6 installed :

TC8.0-B5 does not show the thumbnails of pdf files (cm_SrcThumbs) while TC7.56a does. They use same wincmd.ini.

Is this a beta version problem or a problem due to 32bit programs on 64 bit operating systems? Or do I have a mistake?

Regards

Edited >>> No special plugin for pdf files.

Edited2 >>> Only TC8.0-B5-64bit have this problem

Hi HBB!

I think this is a problem of Adobe Reader itself, not providing a (correctly working) interface for 64-bit applications to use thumbnails instead of the Adobe icon.

You might want to take a look at the following web page for solutions:

Gerby, thanks for your tip :)

This seems again a problem of 32 bit applications on 64 bit environment.

I installed the patch that you have given and it worked. Thumbnails on windows explorer reappeared now.

But TC8.0-B5-64bit behaves a little bit different. In the panels, the thumbnails of files can not be generated, but, the folders can generate the thumbnails of files in them.
