Rob, If I go into CS4 and do a file open (not going into Bridge) and navigate to the folder I can see the IMG_xxxx files but not a thumbnail of the image. I have to go into Bridge to see the thumbnails.
With 40D raws I can just do a file open in CS4 (without going into Bridge) and all the raws are shown as thumbnails.

Not with you there Rob.
If I use explorer I cannot see even 40D raw thumbs, it is only if I go into CS and do a file open that I can see the 40S raws thumbs but not the 7D raw thumbs !!!!

Yep XP, Still do not follow you - If you click on View> thumbnails nothing happens!!!!
Could it be that the Windows XP RAW Image Viewer and Thumbnailer supports the 40D but not the 7D ?

Might be worth trying this Roy

Go to the 1.6.0 download, does say it works with XP as well as Vista
Haven't got a clue if it works because it says not compatible with 64 bit OS so I've never tried. I can only see thumbnails for my 1D mkIII and 5D in bridge but as thats my workflow its never bothered me

i use xp and can view my 7d and 40d and mk3 raws.
a bit lost now Roy.
when you click on view there are other things in that menue i.e tiles ,icons, details etc.
does it change when you click one of them ? it should .

I find Faststone works very well for flicking through my 40D RAW files, don't know if it''ll work with 7d yet or if it's the kind of thing that might solve your problems Roy but thought I'd mention it anyway.
What he means I think Rob is that he can't see actual thumbnail pictures of his shots, not just icons. If you can then you've hacked windows or something like that.

Yes, you can choose between Filmstrip, thumbnails, tiles, Icon etc. I have thumbnails selected but all I see a generic raw thumbnail and not a thumbnail of the image itself.

Adam, I can see the raws when I download via zoom browser. When the download has finished you auto get a page of thumbnails. I then just double click on the first one and get a full screen preview which you can then flick through all the images - I use this for my initial cull. I also have Faststone but do not use it.I find Faststone works very well for flicking through my 40D RAW files, don't know if it''ll work with 7d yet or if it's the kind of thing that might solve your problems Roy but thought I'd mention it anyway.

You are right in saying that when I go into CS4 and do a file> open> I want to be able to see a thumbnail of the image and not just a IMG-XXXX number. It works OK with 40D raws but not 7D raws (unless i go into Bridge).
