Preview in SW 2015 Viewing Window

Hello

I'm on SW 2015 SP 2.1 64 bits.

How can we display previews of SW files in the windows 7 home 64-bit preview pane?

The "show graphics samples in windows explorer" box of the SW system options is checked

I also unchecked the box: "always show icons, never thumbnails" in the folder options of Windows Explorer.

Hello

It is absolutely necessary to update to the 2015 SP5 which solves a lot of bugs.

Otherwise, see this video arch:

Hello

You can view previews using Large Icons as the display option

I tried the tricks mentioned above, none of them worked.

Regarding the passage through the console, it tells me that the command is not recognized, is it the fact that I am in 64bits because the command is regsev32?

Hello

I answer myself.

I finally succeeded by following the tutorial of the video, I must have done a bad manipulation.

On the other hand, I have some problems on some files and in particular  the assemblies on which it doesn't work.

Hello

I used to do that too; we have to re-register the assemblies and as PL! We should move to SP5...
