thumbnails function does not work with cbr files

[sergiodil]

Dear Friends,
I used to move (F6 function key) my cbr files, overwriting target files after checking the thumbnails. I have just reinstalled windows 8 and that function does not work anymore: it worked automatically in my previous windows installation (windows 8 ) without modifying TC options (I remain a total beginner). I have installed Irfan View and XnView, WinRAR (like in my previous windows 8 installation) without results. Please, remember that TC displays thumbnails of normal jpg files.
Please, can you help me?

If Irfanview or Xnview is able to show an image for .cbr files:

Configuration -> Options... : Thumbnails
Loading Thumbnails for:
[x] Get from Irfan-/Xnview for ...

In addition:

<F3>Configuration -> Options... : Configure Lister
[x] Use Irfanview/Xnview to load graphics other than BMP

should be configured an point to one of the installed picture viewers

Last not least inside the override dialog the:

[x] Thumbnails

check button has to be activated.

Regards
Holger

It remains a mistery how TC configured itself automatically last time!!!

Maybe you had a program installed which showed cbr thumbnails in Explorer - Total Commander will use that method too if available.

You are absolutely right!!
At last I discovered that "Cdisplay Ex" displays CBR thumbnails in Explorer: that program can also display thumbnails during copy/move operations in Total Commander.
BTW Many thanks for your wonderful file manager!!! It remains "Windows Commander" for me!!!
