Preview

[Boldline]

@861475_VctSt It's working over here for me.
Did you turn on "store preview" ahead of time?
If you're opening files created prior to beta build 1.1, it's not going to work because preview images were not created for those files at that time. You also need to go into Document Setup and click the box for "Store Preview" so that a preview is created and saved with that specific file. If you set it in "new Document Setup" it will auto create a preview with each new file you make going forward.
I don't know if going back to the old files and saving with "store preview" turned on would create a new preview for those or not - have not tried it yet.

@Boldline

Thanks.
However, the progress indicator spins around but eventually shows the VS icon.

Is there anything else I need to set other than
Document Setup>General>Store Preview?

@861475_VctSt What is your Mac setup?

@vectoradmin

MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012)
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Dual-Core Intel Core i5
1.8 GHz

Mac OS 10.15.17

The above is the main machine.
The others are stored away and not in use.

@vectoradmin

MacBookPro(Retina, 15inch)
Mac OS 10.14.6

I tried it here as well. It doesn't even turn on the progress indicator, it just shows the VS icon.

@vectoradmin

v1.1.016

I can't see it yet in my environment.

[VectorStyler]

@861475_VctSt There are still problems with preview on some MacOS versions, this is an open issue.

[861475_VctSt]

@vectoradmin

All right, all right.
I'll wait patiently.

@VectorStyler I was going to ask the same question. Is it planned to be able to preview VS files soon (in Windows)? It is in fact impossible to preview these files in another app and there is no such facility in VS (yet). Thanks

There are some issues with the Mac previewing, but the Windows preview should work now.

Of course you must enable select a previewing mode in the document setup and save the file with the preview (beta 1.2).

@VectorStyler Did not notice this feature in 1.2. I can preview an image with a red background in a third-party app but not in File Explorer or ABridge.

I will test this.

[B-Vs-V]

@VectorStyler Thanks Here is what I can see in XnView (red background):

[VectorStyler]

@Pat I will try to replicate this issue. Was the file saved with a preview mode?

[B-Vs-V]

@VectorStyler Yes it was

[b77]

@VectorStyler This happens when 'Preview' is set to 'Image' (was going to report it as well).

[B-Vs-V]

@b77 "Jpeg" too for me ("png" does not provide any preview).

[B-Vs-V]

@VectorStyler Partially fixed. I can see previews in XnView when 'jpeg' is chosen without any red background but I don't see previews with 'image' & 'png', and no previews in W files explorer.

[B-Vs-V]

@VectorStyler Furthermore, I imagine that most users would prefer to be able to preview their VS files. Shouldn't that be the default?
