Icon Handler for RIF files in Windows


So after we introduced the Quick Look plugin for viewing Painter files in the Finder in Mac OS, many folks asked why we can't do the same for Windows.

So the development team here is always up for a challenge, and between projects they built a little utility that will display the preview of the image as the Icon for RIF files.

Simply download the utility from here [4.1 mB file].

Install it and you should be ready to go.

Once installed all of your Painter RIF files should now have an image preview with a small application icon badge.


Enjoy!

Installed the Windows Iconhandler.  Opened a file in Painter 11 and saved as RIF.  Files still only show the generic Painter icon in Explorer (Vista 32).  The Iconhandler says its installed and yet, I still don't see any thumbnail view when I open the folder.  Did I miss something??  Many thanks!!

Thank you guys! I installed it on XP 32-bit and now I have .rif thumbnails in explorer. There was no need to resave the files and I have Painter X. :) You are awsome!

It works. Though many people do line drawings so if it is possible to create the thumbnails as 'anti-aliased' as with the .jpg thumbnails it would be even greater. Thank you so much!

Steve, What has happened to this program?

I've installed, uninstalled and reinstalled and just cannot get it to work.  I have XP 32 bit using Painter 11.

Can you please advise, thanks.
