Question

sequoia: photoshop psb and tiff thumbnail-previews not showing in finder and partially in bridge

hi

i updated from sonoma to sequoia and it failed so hard, because my thumbnail previews in finder are only showing a generic PS icon. in sonome i had all thumbnail previews of TIFF, JPG and .PSB layer files correctly displayed in finder. (also in bridge, at least, it shows some tiffs and jpgs but not psb thumbnail previews like in sonomal)

 

is there any workaround? the quick look plugin by john ellis doesnt work anymore, i bought it for previous systems and it worked 100%

 

so i will create a bootable sonoma stick, roll back to sonoma and migrate my last sonoma TM backup.

 

any creative, who is dependent on thumbnail previews in finder or bridge: please dont upgrade to sequoia 

 

thanks for help

@pets I just rely on the Mac settings. Have you tried 'Get Info'? Make sure the file types you're trying to preview are associated with the correct applications. Sometimes, incorrect associations can prevent Quick Look from working. Right-click a file, choose "Get Info," and check the "Open with" section. Select Photoshop.

yes, its associated, the thumbnails show the official ps icon, default one. there is no thumbail preview, so you dont know which file you open, if you have 50 or 100. in sonoma it worked 100%
