Thumbnails for Files

It would be great to have a thumbnail attached to the file so that files can be visualized in the file manager, much like how blender does. This way the files can be differentiated without having to open each one up.

Well so far we have a half arsed file preview of 'previously opened files' and no preview Windows Explorer for the dozens of files users have no doubt created. This situation just isn't tenable as thumbnails are a basic of any and all graphics based programs, except Plasticity. If this program is to be taken seriously by the 3D industry it needs file thumbnail now. To say this request is 'Complete' is totally misleading as it's only partly done Like other claimed features of Plasticity such as DWG imports that work on some files but not all files.

Basic File Function Displaying Thumbnails Badly Needed

Nicholas Fox

Plasticity is seriously lacking in basic file functionality by not displaying thumbnails for the files we create. I've been using Plasticity of around six months and have amassed over 100 models and trying to find one I particularly want to open is a really painful exercise as all I/we are presented with is a list of file names. Until Plasticity is able to display thumbnails it's not going to be taken seriously as a viable program for modeling.
Documentation/User Guide:
Documentation is sparse and quite basic. The videos showing some functions are helpful, but lack commentary, which would be a great help to newcomers. Some shortcut keys and listed functions in the documentation either don't work or have yet to be implemented in Plasticity.
More to come....

Also, on Windows, the file name does not appear in the taskbar.
