urThumbnail


urThumbnail is a modification of Greggman's Windows Explorer thumbnail extension. Inside of Windows Explorer there is a thumbnail view setting that allows you to preview certain file formats inside of file open and file save dialogs as well as Windows Explorer itself. Installing this tool allows you to extend the standard set of files viewable from within these dialog boxes.

What's the difference? urThumbnail extends the thumbnail view to allow more formats to be quickly displayed.

Supported Formats:

  • Direct Draw Surfaces (DDS)
  • X PixMap (XPM)
  • Targa (TGA)
  • Photoshop (PSD)
