hi there. Recently, I noticed that GTV is spitting out an error when trying to display the thumbnails. I hope this screenshot can help give info. This particular texture was made with Substance Designer. My textures are stored on shared network drive. The only way to resolve this is by previewing the texture (double click), in windows. I guess at that point it's creating thumbnail data somewhere. After doing this, it works in GTV. Is there a way to resolve this without always having to preview the texture first? Cheers!

After a bunch of help from Alex it was discovered that a tool called SageThumbs can cause issues with thumbnails showing up in GTV. SageThumbs is a Windows shell extension that allows file types like TGA and PSD to be previewed as thumbnails in Windows Explorer. It turns out SageThumbs can cause other issues with Windows 10, some of which are covered in this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/3wl7o9/do_not_install_sagethumb_on_windows_10_it/

Would you need GTV on Windows or Mac? Please answer this poll here : https://strawpoll.com/vou197s2u
