flobnoit Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Priority: Very low Just for convenience, would it be possible to add preview images for afdesign files to the Win10 preview pane? Or is there advice on how I can embed such a view in the file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 10, 2021 Staff Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hi @flobnoit, Welcome to Affinity Forums We do embed a thumbnail that Windows is able to display in the Preview pane. Do you have Save thumbnails with documents enabled/ticked in Affinity Designer Preferences, General section? flobnoit 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flobnoit Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Hi @MEB Thanks (sorry I didn't notice you'd replied sooner!) for the feedback and welcome! I have verified that I do have the Save thumbnails with documents ticked in my general settings. Since the last time I mucked in the general settings was some years ago, I imagine that I've never had it off. Any other suggestions you can throw my way? Perhaps it's just an idiosyncracy of my Windows install itself? I know it's a notoriously reliable OS 🙄 (but I am stuck with it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 13, 2022 Staff Share Posted January 13, 2022 Hi @flobnoit, No worries. Where are you storing Affinity native's files? If i remember correctly there's a cloud synchronisation service/folder that doesn't display the thumbnails for our files (I have to double-check this). flobnoit 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flobnoit Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Bingo. I hadn't been aware of that- I keep my files locally, but nearly all are in folders synchronized by MS OneDrive. If I copy/paste the same file to a folder not being synchronized the preview works. Thanks for the assist. I'll go shake my fist at Redmond for now yet another inconvenience they impose on me, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
