preview pictures in folders containing .crv and .v3m files

Post by DDWALKER »

On my system I do not get previews in my folders containing .crv files and .v3m files. I just get a generic icon that is the same for each file. Is this normal or is there a way to have the previews for each piece of clipart appear in their folder.

Thanks for any help,
David

Is it working for CRV3D files? Older CRV and V3M files may not have the previews in them to display.

If that's not it you can try re-installing the previewer manually. Go to the Aspire folder within the Program Files folder and double click on VectricShellExtSetup to install it.

Adrian,

I took your advice and my problem is better.

I am getting previews for all of the .crv3d files, part of the .crv files, and none of the .v3m.

Thanks Again for your help,
David

Also,

Here is a screen capture of how the .v3m icons look when I open the actual folder that they reside in.

Thanks Joe for that link. I had not seen it before. I have converted about 450 files so far and still have that many more to go.

Thanks Again,
David

As exported clipart takes on the color that one has chosen for the project, my question is what color does one choose that matches that of the Vectric clipart - it's kind of tan in color??
