Hello, all. Hoping for some additional ideas on this thumbnail difficulty.
My thumbnail state of affairs is as follows:
I by no means see thumbnails of my .skp information; solely the blue SketchUp brand. I do see thumbnails for the backup .skb information underneath sure situations—see be aware about synced information.
I put in SketchUp Professional 2021 within the Spring of 2021. No different SketchUp program has ever been put in on my pc so leftover ‘ThumbsUp.dll’ artifacts within the registry from different variations of SketchUp shouldn’t be a difficulty.
Yesterday I up to date to the most recent upkeep model 21.1.332, ‘Run as Administrator’ was invoked throughout set up, and for good measure I ‘repaired’ it twice. Shutdown and restart. I nonetheless see no thumbnails of my .skp information.
My information and folders are set to permit thumbnails in Home windows 10.
I’ve reviewed the SketchUp on-line handbook part on “Restoring thumbnails for SketchUp information on Home windows.” This part assumes the consumer as soon as noticed thumbnails with a earlier model of SU and now doesn’t. I’ve by no means seen thumbnails for .skp information, so this part actually doesn’t apply, however I learn via it anyway. I verified that SketchUp is ready because the default program for .skp and .skb in Home windows Settings. The handbook additionally suggests disabling third occasion thumbnail software program, however I’ve no such software program put in, in order that’s not the problem.
A be aware about synced information—I hold SU information in three sorts of folders: folders that aren’t synced with any cloud service, folders which are synced with Google Drive, and folders which are synced with Microsoft OneDrive. I do see thumbnails for backup .skb information in folders which are both not synced in any respect or are synced with Google Drive. Within the case of OneDrive, each .skb and .skp information present solely the blue SU Brand.
It could be good to capable of see .skp file thumbnails. Any additional ideas?
My thumbnail previews haven’t been working for a very long time. I attempted repairing 2021, didn’t clear up it so I uninstalled all variations and put in 2022, nonetheless no thumbnails so I opened “default apps” (simply search in within the begin menu), scrolled to the underside the place it says “reset all default apps”. I clicked “reset” and all of the thumbnails populated. Resetting your all of your default apps might screw some folks up with different apps nevertheless it wasn’t an issue for me and it labored for sketchup so I’m blissful.
Thanks a lot, that is very fascinating progress, sadly the repair works however doesn’t stick for me.
After I utilized the reset, the SKP thumbnails instantly appeared however as an alternative of the blue SU icon showing within the decrease proper nook, I bought the Firefox icon—Firefox is my default internet browser.
After I tried to re-associate the file extension .skp in Settings > Default Apps > Select Apps by File Sort my solely choices have been ‘Firefox’ or ‘Select an App within the Microsoft Retailer.’ SketchUp was not supplied as an possibility.
I shut down and restarted as a result of that’s usually the magic bullet, however regardless that my default internet browser was now Edge, I nonetheless bought the Firefox icon within the decrease proper hand nook, and it persevered after making an attempt ‘reset’ once more.
So, I attempted a unique method by proper clicking a random SKP > Open With > Extra Apps > Sketchup Software > At all times use this app to open .skp information.
GREAT, that labored, now all of the thumbnails have the SU brand within the nook….BUT, if I create a brand new SU file and reserve it, there is no such thing as a thumbnail, simply the enormous blue SU brand once more.
Additional, if I modify any current SKP and reserve it, the thumbnail reverts to the enormous blue icon.
Have you ever been discovering any odd habits like this? I want somebody might inform me why the Firefox icon bought concerned with my SKP thumbnails within the first place.
It’s 2023, and this 27-month-old difficulty continues to be current.
Carried out all the pieces talked about on this thread, reinstall, reinstall with admin, restore, restore with admin, Regedit and regarded via all listed ThumbsUp.dll. Nothing out of the peculiar.
Operating Sketchup Professional 2021 model 21.1.332 64-bit.
I hold dropping information or looking for hours as a result of I all the time use thumbnails to find them.
2021 is not going to obtain any updates. It’s completely potential that is an OS not a SketchUp difficulty.

I might count on it’s this. Many (most?) Home windows customers had no downside with thumbnails displaying in SU2021.
I run Home windows 10 Dwelling, Model 22H2.
I run Home windows too on a number of totally different computer systems and haven’t had any issues with thumbnail photographs displaying up.
I’ve. Not too long ago SKP information stopped displaying thumbnails whereas SKB information do. Haven’t bothered doing something to it as usually I hold my Explorer home windows in Particulars mode.
Attention-grabbing. Clearly some change within the working system since SU2022 hasn’t modified not too long ago.
Has it ever occurred in earlier variations?
I work with SketchUp since SU2018, and solely encountered this downside when the workplace upgraded to SU2021 in mid-2020.
SU 2021 was launched late in 2020 or early 2021, don’t bear in mind which so mid-2020 can’t be right. Nevertheless, I believe that the primary launch of 2021 had thumbnails lacking however the glitch was fastened in a upkeep replace. You would possibly examine that you’re working the most recent upkeep improve to your model of SketchUp.
Does that basically matter?
Regarded into it. As said earlier than my model is 21.1.332 64-bit, and within the listed patch notes 332 appears to be the final replace for SU2021.
After I examine for updates now, it needs me to replace to the 2022 model.
Probably not. I used to be simply making an attempt to examine what precise model of SU you have been working. Throughout my 20 years of SU use new updates have misplaced the Home windows Explorer thumbnails greater than as soon as, and normally they’ve returned later. One factor you may attempt is to find the installer to your model, right-click on it, choose “Run as administrator” from the context menu. and choose the Restore possibility when the intaller begins. When set up has completed, flip off and restart your pc. Can not assure that it helps.
Humoured you, re-repaired it, and the thumbnails are again once more.
Now I’m nevertheless undecided if SketchUp was pulling my leg and determined to cooperate with the restore simply now,
or
It’s the buildup of all fixes listed above plus a few of my very own I did earlier than the re-repair that mixed fastened the problem.
The fixes I stacked on prime:
-Choose a file and use the open with [program] to level it in direction of the SketchUp2021.exe in C:Program FilesSketchUpSketchUp 2021,
-Reinstall Sketchup 2020,
-Switching between the totally different index modes on Home windows Explorer and Richt-click choose Refresh after each swap. (Within the hope it in some way shakes the register awake and re-index the information accurately. (Not an IT engineer, don’t @ me)).
