Open the folder> Make sure the Preview pane is activated.> click on View > Chose the size icon you need (I like Large icons)

The first image is the Corel Draw directory. The second is from Lightburn. I only see dragon icons and not the file’s contents.

Might be a Windows 10 thing. This is in Windows 11:

Getting SVG file previews requires installing their Power Toys, which is nagware I do not want.

Thanks Ednisley. I thought there was a native solution in Lightburn. But apparently that’s not the case. And I also don’t want to install any Nagware.

Hello Marcos

Lightburn LBRN files should display thumbnails
There are some known caveats, like having OneDrive that will interfere with the ability of windows to display the thumbnails.

Anything in a OneDrive folder needs to be known by OneDrive itself to have thumbnails.
If OneDrive sync is disabled, Windows Explorer takes over, and our thumbnail plugin for it works just fine.

This might be a stretch, but could you try to disable OneDrive temporarily?

I found the solution. In Windows Folder Options, Uncheck “Always show icons, never thumbnails”.
