I don't see Thumbnails anymore

Hello, I also found the thumbnail extension in the SKP app, but not sure what to do next to get thumbnails back. Any help appreciated. Thanks.


–got CHAT to help me out. Cheers, all.

What was the solution? Would you mind sharing? SU support is very tricky to navigate.

I could not really follow Chat’s attempt at a solution. I might try again, but I spoke with Apple support yesterday and the conclusion they came to is that it is not an Apple issue. OK…back to Trimble, I guess. I wrote to tech support but have not heard back yet.

On Mac, one solution is to install Su 2024 and go to Settins/Open at launch and deactivate all Sketchup Quiclook but one, in turn until only the 2024 is active you will know when you see thumnails are back. carry on using SU 2026

I was waiting for 2026.2 to be released before posting something about this.

2023, and 2024, do seem to be ok with macOS as far as showing thumbnails goes.

Anyone who doesn’t have 2023 or 2024 could go in and turn off all of the Quick look entries, download 2024, open it enough to get to the welcome screen, then close it. By then the 2024 Quick look entry should be in place, and is enabled.

The thumbnails may not show up immediately, but if you hold Option, right-click on the Finder icon in the Dock, and choose Relaunch, thumbnails will show up.

You would want to keep 2024 installed, but you don’t need to use it, 2026 thumbnails will be working as well.

And for people who do have 24 installed? Any fixes?

I have this installed. Sadly no thumbnails.
I do think I had them briefly when I was running the latest beta from TrimbleLabs, but they went away when I removed it.

I think that the list in Quick look is in release order. Meaning, the first one is 2026, then 2025, etc. You could turn all of them off, then take educated guesses which one is 2024, and turn that on. You need to relaunch Finder between each test.

Found it, got it on the first try.
