Hello,

How to display thumbnails with page 1 of .epub and .mobi files in Windows Explorer.

Not with another software, but directly in Windows Explorer as it is already done with .pdf files.

Configuration: Windows / Safari 537.1

    Hello there,

    I found the answer!!! I also searched high and low without finding anything, and this morning I discovered how to see the small thumbnails in epub format.

    It's very simple, with the Adobe Digital Edition software, you have a folder in your documents called "My Digital Editions".

    When you add your books to your library, they automatically copy into the "My Digital Editions/Thumbnails" folder, and you are then able to see the small thumbnails in Windows Explorer.

    It's fantastic, I'm very happy to have finally found it because I too was desperately searching.

    Have a great day and I'm sorry for the delay in responding.

    Apparently no one in the world has the need to display epub file thumbnails in Windows Explorer.

    Is there anyone???

    Hello,

    I apologize for my late response, but this method does not work on Windows 8.

    The images from the epubs copy well into the folder
    ..\Documents\My Digital Editions\Thumbnails

    But it's the image from the "Adobe Digital Edition" software that appears as a thumbnail in the Windows Explorer.

    To be continued...

    It's strange that this basic functionality hasn't been implemented directly in Windows...

    If you want to go see there, the proposed modification works well :)
