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.

v1.1.016

I can't see it yet in my environment.

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

@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.

@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.

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

@Pat said in Preview:

If preview is enabled by default then files are a bit larger (depending on content of course) and saving is a bit slower.

Not sure yet, which one to choose for default.

@Pat I managed to replicate the preview issue in Windows 11. It seems that the Windows 10 preview solution does not work on Windows 11 file explorer. Not sure yet what causes this issue.
