When I activate Recognize only by extension, .REG files are displayed as blank thumbnails, even though Show items in view ‘Thumbnails’ is disabled for Text files.

I can't reproduce, do you have same thumbnail in windows explorer?

On my system Windows Explorer displays the file-type icon for REG files in thumbnail view:

As it turns out, some REG files are identified correctly by XnView v1.97 beta 3 (Filter By = All):

Thanks for testing, everyone! “Unsolved mysteries” are driving me nuts

XnTriq do you have reg extension set in the TxtExt setting?

Good thinking! After adding the extension to the list...

Code: Select all

TxtExt=txt c c++ cc h cpp pas js css php ini reg

... all .REG files disappear when Filter by is set to Custom.

Now, if I'm activating Show items in view ‘Thumbnails’ for Text files and rebuild the thumbs, this is what I get:
