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.

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):
Does it depend on the filesize?

@="regfile"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.reg\PersistentHandler]

I can't reproduce this either.
XnTriq do you have reg extension set in the

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