+--- Thread: [Windows] The .io file system thumbnail (/thread-28269.html)
The .io file system thumbnail - linghank - 2024-05-23
Stud.io's native *.io file already contains thumbnail picture of the model in editor, yet it does not show/use it as a thumbnail in Windows Explorer, but instead it uses Studio default icon for all the model files.
This results in that when we have many mocs in a folder, we can only distinguish them by name.
So，can someone develop a plugin to achieve this functionality?

It’s rather straightforward to get the thumbnail that’s inside the .io. The difficulties are to know how such plugins are configured and installed on Windows….
Not gonna help you much but I eventually released a KDE5 plugin: all the “magic” is in macros and the cmake file.
