Finder Icon Previews Missing?

[Bruce Kieffer]

If my memory is correct, I think we could see Finder icon previews of our Vectorworks files with 2024 and Mac Sonoma. Is that true? This is what I see with 2025 and Sequoia.

I’m getting Finder icon previews on my Mac. There might be a Mac setting hiding somewhere in the Privacy & Security section.

VW has a problem with File Access when using Server drives on Mac.

(There is no problem with locally attached external drives like in my case)

Files are not always accessible as they are thinking they are already in use.

This has somehow to do with Finder Preview (!?)

At least in a way that files are accessible again once you deactivate Preview in Finder.

 

I heard, until the problem is really fixed, for now with SP2, VW would deactivate Finder Preview for VWX files. As Finder Preview for me is an important Feature, I was happy to see that I still have VWX Finder Preview thumbnails with SP2. But maybe VW checks for Servers and lets Finder Preview activated if everything is local (?).

Nevertheless I noticed that my Finder Preview does now no more offer large file Preview images when using Quick look by pressing SPACEBAR. So something definitely changed.

UPDATE: When I checked and posted this I was running VW2024.  Ignore my report.  I checked after seeing this:

Nice Preview Thumbnails here,

the old Secene even with large size Quicklook ....

 

 

 

But it looks like this also valid for my newest Files saved yesterday !?
