P: No image preview on Open dialog box on Windows

REally?? Adobe deleted it??
I was wondering where your previous comment went!!....

I have resorted to downloading "sagethumbs" ... it slows things down
a bit, but at least I can now see my thumbnails... no thanks to Adobe.

It is amazing how without using foul language, staying professional and simply expressing an opinion which is HONEST is deleted at the whim of the moderator.

The TRUTH must hurt - otherwise it wouldn't not have been deleted regarding the CS6 issue with NO THUMBNAIL - Adobe - you need to grow up - it will be only a matter of a day that this will probably be removed as well.

There are other means, Adobe, to get the message across, if not here - on the internet where you can't censor truthful comments.

Thank you so much, FX Designer.. my sentiments exactly, and I'm sure many others agree with you as well. We long-term users have been stunned by this, even though it's nothing new for those corporate suits to mess things up for the rest of us. The good old Bottom Line is the place to react, as usual. No more.

Late to the party, however...

It is absurd that in 2014 Adobe has somehow LOST its ability to provide thumbnails to an application that at its very core is IMAGE driven. Adobe can offer all the excuses it wants - apparently they have no imagination and/or creativity anymore - to suggest and/or imply they will be in violation of a so-called (new) software design protocol is absolutely beyond comprehension - PHOTOSHOP is all about imagery NOT text descriptors - Adobe under the guise of "improving the workflow" at the expense of real-time functionality suggests they are not to blame, but rather the OS is. This is BS - it is a marketing ploy to drive $$$ into their pockets at the expense of ours. The irony is today's OS systems tout ICON / Image driven GUI and yet the flagship imaging entity is not capable or is unwilling to support its loyal LONG-TERM users and customers and prefers to take away proven features that are vital to productive workflow - I am dumbfounded. I obviously have few choices, but one powerful choice I DO have is NOT to buy their product anymore.

Thankfully, I am willing to revert back to earlier versions of Photoshop to rectify any negative impact to valid and sane workflow. Shame on Adobe. You can best believe, if the number of product sold / rented (CC) declines - the issue will be corrected immediately.

It is amazing some of the decisions that are made by corporate suits, without really understanding how the real world operates. I'm prepared to hear their side of the story - but for as good as Photoshop is (was) - I will no longer support this product if Adobe continues to walk down this path.

FX Designer

Same boat. Would gladly do without other features to have the preview working again. Massive time suck, super frustrating. Starting to regret my switch to CC now.

btw, i work for an agency who i doubt would be keen on paying $ for every seat to have mystic thumbs.. this is just ridiculous Adobe!

this has also been driving me crazy, I ended up here after searching "what happened to image preview photoshop cc". seems the only option we are left with is to open and close every single file we that we want to know what they look like which is a tremendous waste of time, and RAM!

I agree with the above statements. If a third party can provide a preview so easily, then why not Adobe. Doesn't make sense. Guess we will have to put our money elsewhere with add-ons. I have CS6 but went back to CS5. Does the job for me. Don't need to upgrade.

Thanks Chris Cox for you're continued patience with the basic total outrage felt by many users.
At this point I feel like this is more a political problem between 2 companies and I feel like Adobe should just bring the PSD thumbs back and stand it's ground against OS vendors. Why?
Because the Microsoft doesn't actually know what it's doing at the moment, is scrambling backwards to create something that is less like Windows 8 and I'd be really surprised if they actually follow their initial plans and probably will leave Adobe to look foolish following commandments from a distant future that is never realized.
Im basing this on rumor, speculation and a few people I know who work in Windows 9 Dev team, so the need to do away with Thumbnails may in the future be realized - but again, why gimp the program proactively?

Please read the existing posts and responses. We care about what customers want, but are limited by what we can do in the OS, or will be able to do in the OS.
