png. , tga. , and psd thunbnails
view in Win 7
Friday, August 12, 2011 by theAVMAN | Discussion: Community
Has anyone found a solution for veiwing png , tga , and psd thumbnails in Windows7 64 bit? In XP there was a stable solution through "Power Toys for XP" available through Microsoft downloads center.
I have trieed several 3rd party applications but none have worked correctly or at all for that matter.So I am looking for someone running Win7 64bit that has found a working solution!
Thank you A/V

But will it let you view them IN explorer, naturally?
As in, open your directory and see the thumbnails without opening them in a 3rd party app?

Yes Jim, it is the only program that I have found that works consistantly on Win 7 64 bit to view PSD's as thumbs in Windows folders.

I truly appreciate all the help! I am still actively looking as none support .tga which is what 95% of all images in a windowblind skin are so that makes them the primary concern.
I have roughly 30 PSD files on my PC I almost never use photoshop it is just to slow.
However I have 20,000+ tga's that are unviewable unless opened by a program . So I am still searching and if I find anything I will post it here!If anyone else does please post it here as well!!
Thank you again Harley

I use Irfanview.
It's not ideal (doesn't show thumbnails) but I can open the first image in the folder and flip through all of them in the irfanviewer window.

Either Irfanview or Xnview will do it Harley. I used to use Irfanview but saving it with that app puts a black background on the image. Xnview is better.Works for me.

XNview works just fine for viewing stuff Harley...... I use it. I must admit though, once I got used to using the "Bridge" in Photoshop, life became much easier.........

Harley, I found this and installed it because the only thumbs I did not have were TGA and it worked on my WIN7 64 bit. You should give it a shot!

Only drawback seems to be that it won't show thumbs for PSD files with groups. Layed PSDs will show as long as there are no groups.
Thanks F!
