P: No image preview on Open dialog box on Windows

Well proper naming is great, but doesn't everyone in the world by now know the quote "A picture says more than a thousand words" by heart? That kind of kills any naming argument.

Ps. How many words can you have in the filename? And will it still be readable after 1001 words? 😛 Ds

my OS= windows7 32 bit... the preview works for me

well though the preview is just thumbnail, not like the older version
but hope this help

According to Chris and others, this is a fix to a security issue that the OS providers (Mac and Windows) are requiring. While I think this is BS, and can't for my life see how a preview on a local system poses a security threat, that's the story.

I also contacted NAPP on the matter and, when describing what a hindrance this was, basically got a ration about how I obviously had not explored Bridge and what a wonderful product it was.

I can't speak for everyone, but Bridge, for me, is lousy. It's a memory hog. It's slow and must build thumbnails, causes hard drive churn and is cumbersome to navigate through folder structures.

Where do you find the psicon.dll? Not so found on downloading dll-files from just a site on the net. :)
And what system do you use? As OmegaPhase below I also use Windows 7, 64bit. Did you get it to work with that or do you have some other OS?

The preview at the "open" dialog is not working since all the PSD-files just show a PSD-logo. I've read some tips & trix on how to fix the problem but none av them is really working since lots, if not all, recommend downloading a third party program. Why cant photoshop show a preview of its own file format? This is really confusing to me. Why should you even need a fix?

This must be a bug or a serious mistake in the system design process

I know a lot of people want a fix for this problem

Aster this did NOT work for me. I'm on Windows 7 64bit. I had high hopes though...

Aster
this sounds pretty good!
what does Chris at Adobe make of this...ie is this a robust work-around?

i know the alternate way to fix, try this.
but u must install the photoshop cs6 first.
here u go:

1. Download psicon.dll
2. Place the psicon.dll in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell\
(make Shell folder if u can't find it)
3. Download psddllregistry (google it), place on the desktop and then open it.
click yes to add to the registry
4. Restart the computer
5. Done
Hope this help.

All previous Photoshop versions would let you preview PSD files before opening. Photoshop CS6 doesn't do that anymore which is a real downgrade. Why do that Adobe?

Boooo Adobe. Not having the preview causes me tons of lost time.

Click that checkbox that says "user can see psd preview"... how hard can it be?

Incompetent lazy developers is what you are.
