Thanks. Looks I was using this mode "If "preview window" is "Preview" add-on". How can I switch to this mode:"If "preview window" is the preview pane under Frame mode:"

Right-click the tab and choose "Show frames". Then click the toggle button if the preview pane does not show.

Thanks. But how can I preview a '.log' text file in this preview window? It looks like 'show frames' is set per tab. Can we set it globally once and apply it to all tabs?

Supported file types

This preview pane is a Windows Explorer feature. To add a supported file type, you can use the Registry Editor or a File Explorer add-ons utility.

Show frames

To turn it on for all tabs:

1. Switch to a tab which has "Show frames" OFF.
2. TICK "Show frames" and "Default" on "Options > List" page and press the "OK" button.

Preview pane visibility

When you starts TE, opens a new tab, or turns "Show frames" on, whether the pane is visible or not depends on last use. To have a better control of this status, you can use "Frame plus" add-on. It is not an official add-on but you can download it here.

Thanks. It seems that I still cannot preview ".log" files on one of my computers. For this computer, I switched to using the "preview window" add-on. However, the photo size displayed in this preview window is very small (the one on the left side). The one on the right side is displayed in the "preview" add-on window.

I do not quite understand. It seems that the file is NOT a photo but is a HTML file.

[bpan2020]

Sorry. It's a '.svg' file.

[ccfs]

Please zip and post the svg file for analysis.

[bpan2020]

Sure. Here it is.

"Preview Window" add-on has some problems about SVG:

• the graphics may not fully occupy available window space (your case)
• scroll bars may show up unnecessarily

I have tried changing the add-on scripts but not succcessful so far. So we have to live with it as is at the moment.

[bpan2020]

OK, thanks. I am currently using the 'Preview' add-on for SVG files and the 'Preview Window' add-on for other files. Should we file an issue for this?

[bpan2020]

Is there a quick way to open and close the preview window of the 'preview' add-on? For example, in the 'preview window' add-on, there is a button in the toolbar that allows this functionality.

[ccfs]

You can use "Add-on switcher" add-on to switch on/off another add-on. To toggle "Preview" add-on using a Tool bar button:

I have solved the small SVG preview problem. Please install this patch.
I do not have a solution to the scroll bar problem. So it will remain at the moment.

Great! Thanks!
