It will be very usefull to have a sketchup viewer plugin inside opus directory; not necesarelly a 3d viewer function, just a 2d.
There is a dll file inside the program files of the mentioned software, called thumbsup.dll that allow view thumbnails inside the windows explorer, so I think it will helps for the development of the plugin. I think so.
I´m not a programer, and I don't know if it is easy. But every intent will be great.
If you turn on shell image extraction in Opus's thumbnails mode preferences then you should see thumbnails for them.
(Won't affect the viewer, though. I suppose a generic viewer could be made which uses the same API to try to extract a large "thumbnail". Not sure how well that would work since I bet a lot of thumbnailers expect to be asked for fairly small images, but it might work with some things.)
Hi Leo, about enabling the option called shell image extraction inside preferences, yes it works, and also for 3dmax thumbnails that I haven't seen before, so it helps when I search for my 3d models, but not for the wiewer, anyways that's a minor detail. Thanks a lot.
