No library thumbnails in WIP8 like in RH7. Problem or my ignorance?

I’ve been trying to get WIP8 to display block thumbnails in the library like in 7, but I can’t find any display option for it. Is this an error, me not knowing where the setting is, or Windows 11 not recognizing them through WIP8?

Tried the fixes. Still no thumbnails for WIP8 on Win 11. Those instructions are for 7 and below.

Those are the best instructions I have.
I don’t understand why the WIP or Windows 11 would be an issue, but it seems they are.

Can you confirm that when you registered the library, eg-

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Rhino 7\System\RhinoHandlers.dll"

That you updated the path to the v8 “RhinoHandlers.dll”?

If so, I would mention this in the issue-report – I’m not sure, is that still the appropriate protocol?

hi @CalypsoArt thanks for reporting. I can confirm this issue also on Win 10, so it’s not Win 11 related.
RH-74742 Libraries doesn’t display Rhino file thumbnails.
