SageThumbs Info Tips SageThumbs Options SageThumbs Context Menu

Please read carefully the following information:

As SageThumbs is a Windows Explorer context menu extension, there is no an executable file that you should launch to bring it up. To use it, just open any folder with image files in Windows Explorer, and then right-click a file you want to preview. You’ll see the thumbnail immediately in the context menu.

System Requirements #

  • Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008/7/2012/8/8.1/10 32/64-bit
  • About 5 Mb of disk space + additional space for cache

AI, PS, EPS, PDF Support #

To enable thumbnails for Adobe Illustrator (ai), Postscript (ps, eps) and Adobe Acrobat (pdf) files you need installed old GhostScript library:

Troubleshooting #

To fix unwanted SageThumbs extension:

  • Uncheck problem extension in SageThumbs options and press OK;
  • Restore extension association in original application or using Windows Control Panel;
  • Clear Windows thumbnail cache using Windows Clean Manager (cleanmgr.exe);
  • Reboot.

Note: It may be sufficient to make not all those steps.

External plugins #

SageThumbs can use external XnView plugins, it tries to automatically detect XnView installation folder or if failed it will use predefined folder. Typically this folder is C:\Program files\XnView\PlugIns for 32-bit SageThumbs on 32-bit Windows or 64-bit SageThumbs on 64-bit Windows and C:\Program Files (x86)\XnView\PlugIns for 32-bit SageThumbs on 64-bit Windows. So if you have no XnView installed you can create this folder manually and unpack plugins to it. Just don’t forget that you need same “bit capacity” for plugins and SageThumbs.

Translation #

SageThumbs can be easily translated to other languages.

New translation #

  • Download and install poEdit utility;
  • Copy “SageThumbs.dll.pot” file (can be found in SageThumbs installation folder) under new name “SageThumbs.dll.XX.po” near “SageThumbs.dll” file. Where “XX” is a 2-digit (or 4-digit) hexadecimal code of language, see “primary language identifier”. For example Russian has code 0x19 so its a “SageThumbs.dll.19.po”.
  • Open new file in PoEdit, translate and save as UTF-8 (it’s by default)
  • Open SageThumbs options and check a new language in it
  • E-mail PO-file to me: . File will be definitely included in the next version

  • Download fresh “SageThumbs.dll.pot” file.
  • Open your .PO-translation file by PoEdit.
  • Select menu item Catalogue -> Update from POT file... and open SageThumbs.dll.pot, you’ll see what was added to and what was removed from new translation.
