Ai used to have the image on the picture clipping so you know what image it is. now you have to drag it onto the art board to find out. is there a setting to show the image on the file so you know what you are getting?

Interesting, I had never heard of it, but when I tried it it reminds me of InDesign snippets.

It sometimes gives a preview (I am on the same OS as you are), and sometimes not.

But it contains all object attributes (like patterns or effects) when dragged back into a new Illustrator file.

So correct me on that one.

As for the missing preview: give it a proper name?

I cannot reproduce the problem so far, could you describe what exactly you are doing in more detail?

to make a picture clipping you drag an object from your art board onto your desktop. it becomes a "picture clipping". it used to have the image you dragged on the picture clipping icon. but not now. so you don't know what the picture clipping is of.

Like I said I cannot reproduce the problem, so I suspect it may be OS-sided.

Does the OS provide a preview via File > Quick Look?
