Re: Recent update of the desktop app not allowing me to see .clip thumbnails in File Explorer.
As you can see here, the thumbnails no longer show what is in the file for this file type after the update.
It persists even if Dropbox is closed, but if the files are not in dropbox folders (i.e. I drag them out of copy-paste them onto my desktop or any other non-dropbox folder), the thumbnails show perfectly fine.
The above is showing both in the file explorer within clip studio, and the general Windows file explorer.

Thanks for the screenshot and the additional info, Cream.
If you create copies of these images within the Dropbox folder (both in the same folder or in a different one), does the issue still persist?

Yes, and I can do you one better. I copied the file while Dropbox was off and the thumbnail was fine. When I turned Dropbox back on and it synced, it broke just like all of the others.

Hey Cream, let me jump in here, too.
I hope you haven’t mentioned this already and I’ve missed it, but are you having this issue with all files that are saved within your local Dropbox folder? Meaning, not just the files that you open with Clip Studio Paint, but all other files in other Dropbox subfolders, as well?
Other than that, there has been a new stable desktop app version released in the meantime; can you please make sure your Dropbox app is updated and let me know if the issue persists?

I only keep .clips and general image files on my dropbox really. Image file thumbnails work fine. It's only files that I open in clip studio (.clip) that do this.

Are there any updates on this?

Hey Cream, in a previous reply Walter had asked if the issue persists when the Dropbox app is paused and if it is, we could send you an email to investigate the issue further.
Shall I go ahead and send that email?
- Cream8 months agoNew member | Level 2
That reply was not to me, so I had no notification of it. Yes, I would like that, as the issue persists when the app is paused.
