I have tried X5, X6 & now X7 with the same results. In manage any file that is actually a shortcut to a PSP file does not show up. These are Win .lnk shortcuts that point to and resolve as a valid PSP image file.
At one time this did work as I noted it, but did not know why. I use Win Explorer and the thumbnails show fine and work as expected. I also use XnView and get the same results as in Explorer. With PSP nothing shows.
I can file/open a shortcut and it is fine. From within Explorer I can use the context menu Open with and it works fine. I have spent a few hours Googling and did not find and satisfactory resolution.
Anyone got some ideas I can look at to resolve this?

Re: Image File Shortcuts in Manage
Paintshop Pro processes image files, and the Manager/Organizer catalogs image files. Image files to PSP are all file types that you can exclude from cataloging in File/Preferences/General program preferences/Manage. .lnk isn’t one of them. Processing .lnk too would also cost extra overhead that isn’t worth it, because the original file would be cataloged and findable.
When you File/Open you can see the .lnk, and that .lnk will show as a thumbnail if you tell it to (show list, details, pictograms, large… etc.) because you’re using the Windows Explorer interface. It has not always been that way in Windows.
To be honest I can’t remember any version from 3.12 on that showed shortcuts in browse/manage thumbnail views, but I’m getting to the point that there aren’t any reruns on television either.
