Hi Michael & Max,

Thank you both for your prompt feedback ;-)

@Michael: No, it seemed that it wasn't possible but what you describe sounds attractive (hope it's not too much effort ...) - thanks for considering :-)

@PILOU: Hmmm... thanks for the link - it looks interesting. It looks though as if it is intended for the V4 version, right? I've just "recently" upgraded to the V3 version and I'd prefer to stay with this version as it fits my needs quite well. Yet ... I do remember seeing sometime earlier that there was a V3 version ... will make a search for it.

Cheers to you both,

Jesper

P.S.: I have tried installing the Custom UI but it doesn't appear to work. Will try again and then maybe ask Max what might be "astray" in what I'm doing.

I use a V3 with a custom UI packaged (I don't remember the source of package).
I don't know why (Custom UI ? another plugin installed ?), but when I save a .3dm file, a .jpg looking like a screenshot (or snapshot) is generated too.
So I have 2 files a .3dm and .jpg in the same directory.
For my usage, this is a pretty good solution to preview.
Someone know the source of this feature ?

Hi Phiro, I kind of vaguely remember something like that. Probably this one:

Hello Jesper,

A possible workaround could be to store a stl-File with the same Name and install MeshLab - it gives you a preview for the stl.

A nice day to all

It would be very cool to have thumbnail previews, I guess that wont add a lot to the file weight..
