Is it possible to make all files other than images show icons in place of thumbnails? (Windows 7, DOpus 12)
Example:

The {thumbnail} field will show a thumbnail if one is available, but also falls back on icons otherwise.
There isn't a way to say "only display the icon, never the thumbnail", but you can make it so some file types display no graphic at all, if that would be preferable.
Your screenshot shows an icon so I wonder if we are talking about avoiding thumbnails, or avoiding large icons?
This is odd, because my infotips are set to show folder/file thumbnails, but none of them fall back onto icons when no thumbnail is present, they're just blank.
When hovering over a folder:
When hovering over an image (also works for .mp4 and other video formats with thumbnails by default):
However if I hover over other file types for example:
.dll
.zip .rar .7z (all are missing icons in place of thumbnails)
What are the infotio definitions for those types?
Is the file display in Details mode or something else?
Yeah the screenshots were taken in details mode, the definitions are for all folders and for all files.
All Files:
Flename:
{name} {status}
{thumbnail}
Size:
{sizeauto}
Type:
{type}
Time/Date:
{accessed} - (Accessed)
{created} - (Created)
{modified} - (Modified)
Shortname:
{shortname}
Location:
{fullpath}
All Folders:
Flename:
{name} {status}/{filecounttotal}
{thumbnail}
Size:
{sizeauto}
Type:
{type}
Time/Date:
{accessed} - (Accessed)
{created} - (Created)
{modified} - (Modified)
Shortname:

Location:
{fullpath}
For zip files, you only currently get an info-tip thumbnail if:
-
The zip is non-empty (and has files Opus knows how to make a thumbnail for inside the top-level), and
-
Generate folder thumbnails from images inside folders is turned on in this dialog under Preferences / File Display Modes / Thumbnails
It should probably fall back on an empty zip-folder image or the shell zip icon (depending on the top setting in that dialog) for empty zips, or if the second option is off, but doesn't at the moment. (For info-tips. It does do this correctly in the file display.)
For DLL files:
- Check the info-tip definition for the Programs file type group. It may just be missing the {thumbnail} code.
Update: I added the thumbnail code to the programs file type group, and added the .exe and .msi file types to the group, it shows the thumbnails for them the first time I hover over them but if I go back to hover over the same exe or mis file again it doesn't show them anymore. (side note, I assume when you type {thumbnail:2} instead of {thumbnail} it displays the large thumbnail?
