After upgrading from Windows 8.1 to 10, I noticed that .psd
Photoshop files started having thumbnails again, something I've not seen since CS2.
Once I tried to open a .psd
, it asked me which app I'd like to use by default, so I chose Photoshop CC 2015. However, the thumbnails then disappeared to be replaced with Photoshop icons.
I'm thinking of trying to remove the default file association for .psd
images, by deleting the registry keys as shown in this answer: https://superuser.com/a/49617/291776
This involves deleting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.psd
and/or HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.psd
. If I do this, will I be able to set Photoshop as the default program again (with the Photoshop icon showing on .psd
files) in case the thumbnails don't come back?
UPDATE:
The method I tried didn't work anyway. .psd
files still had the Photoshop icon on them.
In preferences, it says 'Always save' image previews. And I think that image previews are being saved, but for some reason, the photoshop icon is shown instead of thumbnails when
.psd
files are set to automatically open with photoshop. But in any case, deleting the reg keys didn't do anything – binaryfunt – 2015-08-27T15:00:25.677Previews will only show if you reach a specific i con size. Are the icons still hidden once you turn ob the icon size on your explorer window? – BlueWizard – 2015-08-27T15:07:54.463
Changing the icon size in file explorer doesn't show thumbnails – binaryfunt – 2015-08-27T15:16:56.390
