What are you referring to? You're going to need to expand on this...a lot!

What are you asking for? This is link to the same thread with few things that can help.  I don't think that topicstarter forget how to read the words or can't go to this link!

Hi apcoinc,

when on Windows this is a very good question!

Below two screenshots from InDesign's Place dialog.

This one with a selected TIFF file, the preview is there:

No preview, if the same file is saved as PhotoShop PSD:

The workaround:
Use Adobe Bridge for that purpose. From InDesign:

File > Browse in Bridge…

Then one can place the selected PSD from Adobe Bridge using the context menu:

Thank you Laubender, that's pretty much waht I do. You are correct in your words"The Workaround" Adobe really should correct this.
