I see symbol for another associated program (not Ghostscript)helmut wrote: --> XnView displays an empty thumbnail for the PDF file.
Hi !
• Doing this, I don't get any thumb nail ! That seems normal, though.…1.) Disable the setting "Show as thumbnail" fpr AI, PS, PDF files in Tools > Options > Browser > File List > Items displayed…
G. Here, *.PDF is not associated with AcrobatReader, but with Foxit PDF Reader. G.Yes. It means that the standard symbol of this file type must be shown (and not the thumbnail). But instead of the standard symbol an empty area is shown when unchecking the "Show as thumbnail". (Bug)Clo wrote:- The box unticked for thumb nail means that no thumb nail must be displayed, I guess, must it not?
So, here is a variant of that bug, since with the box unticked, I get nothing ! Neither an empty area, nor any icon… G.I can't reproduce it, i have the icon for Acrobat reader, not an empty thumbnail. Could you post a screenshot?helmut wrote:Note: This problem also occurs in XnView 1.82.4.
As long as "Show thumbnail" is disabled in option you will see an empty thumbnail for PDF files. Instead, I'd expect the Acrobat PDF symbol to be shown.
To reproduce (you will need AFPL Ghostscript installed on your computer):
1.) Disable the setting "Show as thumbnail" fpr AI, PS, PDF files in Tools > Options > Browser > File List > Items displayed
2. ) Close options and browse a folder with a PDF file in it.
--> XnView displays an empty thumbnail for the PDF file.

It's not normal, you have something else that create a thumbnail for pdf for windows explorer...helmut wrote:This is what it looks like:xnview wrote:I can't reproduce it, i have the icon for Acrobat reader, not an empty thumbnail. Could you post a screenshot?
As you can see one can see the PDF file "IMG_0008.pdf" in the preview, but the appropriate thumbnail is just empty. When rebuilding the thumbnails using "View > Rebuild thumbnails" the Acrobat PDF icon is shown for some view seconds (correct) but then the empty area appears, again.
Not sure whether this detail helps: When browsing another folder and then returning to the folder with the PDF, all thumbnails appear immediately except the one of the PDF file. It is rebuild everytime I browse this folder.
I've tried browsing other folders with PDF files - same result.
As written above, when checking the setting "Show as thumbnail" the thumbnail is shown properly. Also the thumbnail is cached and all thumbnails appear immediately when browsing the folder, again.
Is there a way to find out which application/service disturbs XnView's thumbnail creation for PDF files?xnview wrote:It's not normal, you have something else that create a thumbnail for pdf for windows explorer...
In windows explorer/Thumbnail do you have the thumbnail for PDF?helmut wrote:Is there a way to find out which application/service disturbs XnView's thumbnail creation for PDF files?xnview wrote:It's not normal, you have something else that create a thumbnail for pdf for windows explorer...
Yes, for some of the PDF files I can see a thumbnail in MS Explorer. I'm still not clear which program generates the thumbnail.xnview wrote:In windows explorer/Thumbnail do you have the thumbnail for PDF?
Pierre Hello ! KR
In the "items displayed" tab in Options|Browser|file list I have all checkboxes checked and in thumbnail view I correctly get the first page of the PDF document rendered as a thumbnail.
