Guest Kari W Posted March 28, 2018 I have all of the extras included with pro installed on computer but can't see a preview or anything until I insert them in software. Is there a way to preview them? All I can see through windows explorer or when importing through software is a generic thumbnail and now a preview. Thank you!

ShaneGreen 131 Posted March 28, 2018 >File >Import >Advanced >Corporate Logos >whatever folder you want A file explorer type window will open but just showing the generic thumbnail. In the upper right corner you'll see a little icon of a computer screen and a downward arrow. When you hoover over it you'll get some form of the phrase "Change Your View". Click on this and choose "Large icons" (or if you're on the high end of middle age I hear you use "extra large icons", but I don't know from experience. No. Really.)

ShaneGreen 131 Posted March 28, 2018 Those instructions may or may not reset themselves each time (gotta love windows). This "should" be permanent. >Open Windows Explorer >Navigate to OS(C:) > Program FIles (x86) > FutureCorp > Extras >click on the "View" tab along the top menu. >click "Large icons" from the list of views. >The last menu option on the right should be "Options" open this. >click "change folder and search options" >the usual options/properties dialog window opens. Click on the "view tab" of this pop-up. >chose "Apply to Folders" and then "Yes" from the confirmation dialog. >click "Apply" (if it's offered) and then "OK" to close out the pop-up. The next time you open any of the fonts, logos, clipart, etc. from within Vinylmaster, it should show the images. Your mileage may vary. . . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kari W Posted March 29, 2018 Thank you for your help!! I did the 2nd set of instructions but still no luck. This is what I see still. No preview available. My laptop is pretty old and is running Windows 8.1. So far it has worked as I just use it for vinyl design/cutting. Any other ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted March 29, 2018 Start Button > Settings > Control Panel > Folder Options > View Make sure "Always show Icons, Never Thumbnails" is UNCHECKED and "Apply" or "OK". Then You should be able to Preview the Thumbs within VinylMaster. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kari W Posted April 6, 2018 I have tried all of the above suggestions and still no luck. I tried changing the primary program and that just changes all files to show the generic program icon. Thanks so much for all of the ideas. I just haven't had any luck so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinylMaster 148 Posted April 9, 2018 Reinstall the software and check Install Thumbnail Previewer on the last installation window. See if that helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haumana 1,220 Posted May 17, 2020 Can you be a little more specific? Program doesn’t open, opens but isn’t responsive, responsive but cannot cut, etc. you should take the time and register for the forum. It’s free and your posts will go up immediately. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted May 18, 2020 If you have installed the VinylMaster 'Extras' files (separate installation after Program install) and Rebooted your computer you can look in C/Program Files (x86)/FutureCorp/VinylMaster/Resources/VClips/Corporate and check that the .vClip files are installed. Then they should be under this Tab in the Program; 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
