  I've been experiencing this a bit, but now I've come across and entire batch of files (all from the same source) that are not showing 98% of the thumbnail images. Both jpeg and png are not showing. Anyone know anythign about this? I searched and found a couple of questions about it, but no real answers...

  thanks :)

  Is this batch of files really embedded in some nested folders?  Once the path is longer than 255 characters (the path is the drive letter, all folders to the filename) ACDSee will no longer display thumbnails. 

  Try unnesting some of the folders or shortening some of the folder names and the thumbnails will appear.

   I am experiencing loss of thumbnails after restarting ACDSee 3.0 My path is very short.

  Would you have any other suggestions.

  Thanks

  Select the images and rebuild your thumbnails.

  Tools | Database | Rebuild Thumbnails & metadata.

  Thanks Heidi,

  Done it many times, uninstalled ACDSee software, deleted database, manually deleted all *.cdx, *.dbf, *.ftp files, cleaned up the registryregistry.

  After rebuilding thumbnails, I can see all thumbnails, but after restarting ACDSee only random thumbnails are showing. No matter how many times thumbnails or metadata is rebuilded. If I leave Manage tab and move to View tab, I can see thumbnails at the bottom preview strip, if I go back to Manage tab, most thumbnails will show extreamly pixelated, let say if you enlarge 40 pixel thumbnail to 200pixels wide.

  I've been using ACDSee since Windows 3.1, that is really long time ago. Hardly ever had any issues with this software. This is actually first time I am getting frustrated.

  Any other ideas to overcome this issue?
