issue in w10 and oldnewexplorer

[pep0w]

I've installed this and it does show the icons in the folder preview.
However, i'm also using OldNewExplorer and OpenShell to bring back the old status details and command bar instead of the ribbon, as well as the windows 7 start menu.
So with the svg thumbnails installed, the explorer doesn't work well, I open "This PC" and it's just loading and nothing happens (it's empty). As soon as I uninstalled this, it works again.

Start11, Explorer Patcher, etc, I don't know if they would be compatible. But if I ever upgrade to w11 I'd probably use explorer patcher as oldnewexplorer doesn't work well with w11.

Can you fix this compatibility issue?

I'm not sure why this would have any negative effect on that. Maybe try rebooting after installing it?

I also use OldNewExplorer (and only that) on Windows 10, and SVG previews work in the details panel on the bottom and the preview pane on the side. So your problem probably not related to OldNewExplorer at least.

@pep0w If you run winver what Build number of Windows does it show you have?

[pep0w]

@ThioJoe it's W10 23H2 Build 19045.5965

@ThenTech Maybe it's the way I have it set up?
I can attach my settings for OldNewExplorer and OpenShell.

I wouldn't really know what to do with it tbh

You can try the new release 1.9.0 which has some stability and reliability improvements that may help. It's not on WinGet yet but you can get it from the releases page

I tried it and still got the same issue. Nothing shows up when I open explorer in "This PC", files also don't have the metadata in the status bar from OldNewExplorer. Same as with the older version.
What I did notice though is that it happened only after searching for ".svg", I haven't searched for anything else though.
After uninstalling everything is normal again.

Anyway, I looked for alternatives and came across "svg see v1.1.0", haven't gotten any issues with that one, been using it the past weeks...
