No image thumbnails in Windows 8

cdrnet

Situation:

* Put a few jpg images in your mounted BoxCryptor drive (where the "virtual" files appear unencrypted). Open the drive/folder in the windows file explorer. BoyCryptor Unlimited v1.3.2.0 (forum beta), filename encryption is enabled.

Windows 7 - Expected:

* Virtual files appear with decrypted filenames. Thumbnails work as usual. All as expected.

Windows 8 (RTM) - Actual:

* Virtual files appear with decrypted filenames. However, thumnails don't work, neither in the file explorer nor when opening the file with the Live Essentials Foto gallery. The image can be opened normally though, just without thumbnails.

Was there something changed in the way thumbnails work in Windows 8? Could BoxCryptor adapt to these changes?

Same with v1.3.9.0 (forum beta), above was the normal version. Tested both.

Hi,

Thanks for the information. BoxCryptor does not yet officially support Windows 8, but we will add support for it before its official release in October.

Dear cdrnet, dear Robert,
I am sorry to open a new topic before I found this one.
I am using Win8 prof german and BC-v1.4 and thumbnails in Windows Explorer still don't work.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

v1.4 does not yet have support for Windows 8. We're already working on v1.5 which will have Windows 8 support and which will show image thumbnails in Windows Explorer. We will make it available until the official release of Windows 8 on October 26th.

Dear Robert,
thank you for your answer.
As this is only a visual problem it does not really hurt.
But I am happy to hear it will get fixed.
Best regards,
Thomas
