3MF Project thumbnails doesn't show on Windows 10

Good morning, I came back to PrusaSlicer after years of Ideamaker and now I'm happyt with my choice! I've noticed that when I save a project (.3MF) in my "main" PC based on WIndows 10 the thumbnail doesn't appear, I see the PrusaSlicer icona instead. All my projects are in the cluod and if I see the folder containing the project from anothere PC (with PS installed, of course) the thombnails show up. Does anybody know what Windows 10 settings is neccesary to change to see the thimbnails?

Thanks!

Andrea

If its showing the PS icon it means that file type association has been assigned to PS.  I think windows normally has that associated to Open with Print 3d.  If you assign the association back then you *should* get your previews back.

I tried it on my work windows 10 machine and it worked for me.  Are you changing the associated program machine wide or just for the individual file ?

Depending on how you do it you are either changing the open with for that one file or setting the default for that file type. There are plenty of resources on how to set the default program for a file type online.

In which case I'm afraid I cant help further as I know it worked for me.  Perhaps go ask on a microsoft windows forum how to restore it.  These things usually involve registry settings somewhere.

I had the same problem and found this web site:

https://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/188005-3mf-thumbnail-file-explorer.html?fbclid=IwAR0yCfsXpuHQqg1tRrYinPJit50Lnd0vuiOOa8FpHB8yeZG-OoFDOAtChD4

I did what it said and IT WORKED

But it requires that you tamper with the registry and you do so at your own risk
