gr8rck Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Hi, What do third-party providers need from Affinity in order to be able to display .afdesign, afphoto and afpublisher thumbnails in their software. I have been having trouble finding a DAM provider and other software that displays the thumbnails correctly. Thanks, Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr8rck Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Thanks for the quick reply, I actually did know about ACDSee but as of now it doesn't really fit my DAM purpose. I'm trying to understand what has to happen for vendors to make the thumbnails compatible. Do we know if its some type of data exchange that has to happen between the parties? I can also confirm XnViewMP does a great job in Windows Explorer for displaying the thumbnails. I've used it for a couple of years that way. Ryan.

Do we know if its some type of data exchange that has to happen between the parties? It's undoubtedly different between Windows and Mac, though it should be similar processing. On Windows, based on a post from developer Mark Ingram, Quote If the developers are manually reading our file format, they probably shouldn't, and should instead ask the OS to provide the thumbnail for the file (which would use the thumbnail provider that we ship with the application).
