Since MS still wasn't able to include this natively, I'd highly appreciate this addition. Photoshop export is still clumsy, Lightroom exports natively, I'm using this every other day.
I found a workaround, but not an absolute solution. I disabled all filetypes in sagethumbs except PSDs (only one I need atm), then used cleanmgr and deleted all thumbnails, restarted explorer and transparency is back.
Some icons not transparent anymore
I can't see PSB miniatures
The attached files contain the original ico and png settings from a freshly installed Windows 10. Unzip and install them. The png is used inside the ico and can also be affected.
I probably repeatedly cleared the Explorer Cache hundreds of times without result. The OS is "Windows 10 Pro build 19045.3693" with "Experience Pack 1000.19053.1000.0". The problem is linked with a Registry keys cross referencing which is broken by your installation procedure but which isn't restored to original after uninstall. You got to trace exactly what you modify in the registry and how you modify it in order to re-write an uninstall procedure and restore original standard Windows 10 parameters....

Sorry to hear that this is happening. Could you please send me your OS version? By the way, you can try the system utility cleanmgr.exe to clear the Explorer cache if the black squares are "stuck" in it.

TRANSPARENT .ICO FILES NOW DISPLAIED AS BLACK SQUARES
Same issue here. Only for small size icons (view in details), other icon sizes work correctly.
DDS thumbnail colours are inverted
psd thumbnails have transparency issues when file has alpha channels/saved selections
Explorer crash when files over 256 char long
Can e get the option to turn off the preview in the right click context menu entirely?
All thumbnails appear as the default Windows icon (piece of paper with folded top-right corner)

PNG issues
I just solved my issue with PNG's not showing a thumbnail. I've been trying to figure it out FOREVER! I opened up the SageThumb options and checked the PNG's. and clicked the OK button. It went through the Applying Settings stage and Boom, all my PNG thumbs are back. (I had a folder open so I could watch them show back up after the Apply Settings process finished.) I thought I had done this already...in fact I'm positive I had, multiple times. But here's what happens... After I checked the PNG box...

Same isssue :/
I'm facing the same problem. Tried installing xnview, also xnview 32 & 64. Tried manually copyng the openexr.dll. Nothing works for me regarding to exr in explorer (psd and evrtything works fine, and in xnview i can see thumbs of exr files). Not sure what else to do. On this post someone says: "I spoke with Nikolay Raspopov. EXR should be added to your GFL library. Add it please !!!!!!!!!!" Not sure what it means neither. https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=24381 Any help would be much ...

I installed on Windows 11 and it fails to complete the installation at the registration step I believe. Tried to repair. Repair also failed. It's a mess. *added screenshots of screens where the process freezes.

JEPG Previews Missing after SageThumbs Install
Hey Sara, I have the same problem. I like to keep SageThumbs installed for the quick preview of .psd and .eps files, but not being able to view jpeg files isn't ideal. Did you ever find a solution on this?
Bumping this old one, because there are a couple like it already posted, so it doesn't need a new thread. This thread's suggestions are almost exactly the same as the OP, Jedi Kalimero posted. The difference is that resizing in the R-click Context Menu would simply have an expandable arrow for Resize under the SageThumbs heading: 1. User right-clicks on an image, hovers over SageThumbs and then hovers over Resize 2. Resize entry expands to display the most common resize commands This prevents clouding...

The SageThumbs is just a shell for anymore not updated and not supported graphics library - GFL Library. So image format compatibility questions has not point discussing here. Anyway I can try to confirm a compatibility issue if you provide a sample problem .ai-file.
same issue here on Windows 11. Ive also installed GhostScript as described but nothing shows
Sad there is no feed back nor a proper page for this app. Dont see thumbnails for ai files even when ghostscript is installed
Missing Context Menu
+1 with Kai. Exactly the same ! And I confirm again that my files are not "on-demand" but physically saved on a local drive.
To be honest, that can't be true. For psd files it is a matter of the size. Small files ~500kb do have a thumbnail, larger files ~100MB don't have. Of course the files need to be synced locally and yes, my files are physically saved on a local drive and are not "ghosts". If I copy a new file from another folder (with a thumbnail generated) into the OneDrive synced folder, the thumbnail disappears shortly after.

In my humble opinion OneDrive uses files-on-demand technique, files without thumbnails are ghost files, has no file content on disk, so no thumbnails, sorry.
No more support for this great software ?!
I'm experiencing the same issue. Running Gimp 2.10.22.

Photoshop 2021 (v22) thumbnails not working
Another information : the problem occurs on One Drive but not on Google Drive. As you can see on this printscreen, same files, all synchronised with the clouds but the one on Google Drive are visibles, the ones on One Drive not.
Just to show you ... One file and his copy : file already synchronised with one drive is unvisible, file during synchonisation is still visible (but will be unvisible when finish)
Of course. It concerns 90% of my files so easy to find one ! But how to send it to you ? It's too big to attach it here.
Looks like your needs overgrows embedded databases capabilities.
Can you share one of such problem files?

I searched through the Windows 10 registry and can't find where ghostscript is used by SageThumbs, but maybe .ai/.psd for SageThumbs is linked somewhere external to the registry? If the problem is related to file version like Andy Wallace discovered, then can we at least get some sort of message somewhere that this is the case? There doesn't seem to be any visibility to the user for the reasons a thumbnail isn't available.

Thanks for your advice but all the files are marked as "Always keep on this device" (cf. screenshot). PS : sorry for the delay, I was out of office with the Covid crisis
Works as expected on another computer under Windows 10 1803. I don't know if this might be related, but the computer that has the issue has XnViewMP installed but not set as a default viewer, and the computer on which it works doesn't have XnView.

You can use alternative uitilities like this File Converter.
Please make sure you are not using OneDrive Files On-Demand feature (so no actual files there).

Image Converter WEBP to "other" from Context Menu Support?
Thanks Bozz Mann, my setting is at 1000mb - doesn't make a difference. It's interesting to me that MS OneDrive willautomatically display a PSD thumbnail but MS Windows 10 will not.
This worked for me. This seems to be related to maximum file size of thumbnail. In sage thumbs options select "Prefer image file embeded thumbnails". Set file size larger than your largest PSD. I set mine to 500mb, after all it's only going to use what it needs.
