.max files' thumbnails not displaying in XnView MP

Hello,

In XnView classic, .max files do display the thumbnail correctly for me.

In XnView MP, the .max files are not displaying the thumbnails.

I tried Tools-Settings-General checked Show all graphic formats - restarted XnView MP - no change

Am I missing a setting somewhere in the interface to be able to display the .max files' thumbnails ?

these files use plugin Xcompound.dll, if you use the 32bits version of XnViewMP, you can use it

Hello,

I removed the 64 bit version and installed the 32 bit version.

The thumbnails for max files still do not display. It just shows the 3dsmax icon.

Do I need to associate to this .dll somehow?

I think you need to download the plug-in from this link, it's the 'Compound' plug-in for 3DSMax, and then extract it and put it in the XnView MP x32 plugins folder.

I assume you are using Windows.

Having located it I've attached a copy anyway...
