Solve : JPS / JPG thumbnail Windows XP Explorer?

Answer»

There is a filetype that is called JPS (same as JPEG, except with "STEREO" attached)

The stereo .jps file type is a simple jpeg image file with two JPEG images placed sides-by-side. A 1024x768 image is actually 2048x768, a left image and a right image.

Anyways, I want to find a hack in windows XP that will allow me to view THUMBNAILS of .JPS filetypes in EXPLORER.

If you take a .JPG file and rename it .JPS, I want to see the thumbnail of that image in windows explorer without third party software.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

More and more applications are beginning to use the .JPS filetype. I am NOT interested in renaming .JPS to .JPEG / .JPG.

thanks again!Can you cite a reference on the JPS file type?  A Google search yielded nothing.  Same here.
This was the best I could find, a reference in a Wikipedia disambiguation.
Even then, it only says "JPEG Stereo Image (a file type)".
Other Google searches reveal people with similar problems (WANTING to use JPS thumbnails) but little about the format itself or solutions. C0BALT......
Perhaps this link will give you a bit of insight.

  Perhaps you could mention what applications use this file extension ....other than perhaps "Print Studio"

Is the attached image the type of thing your referring to:

Yes, this side by side image is exactly the type of file.

Again, what I want to do is to TELL windows that JPS IS actually a JPG and to deal with the JPS file exactly the same way as a JPG file so I can view the "jpg" thumbnail in explorer.
 I already have software to deal with .JPS files appropriately.



It would similar to telling windows that a .DOCUMENT file is the same as a .DOC file
Maybe this will also help clarify some things.

 8-)fffreakThere are many aps and plugins to deal with JPS filetypes.

I'm not trying to find aps to view JPS filetypes.

All I want to do is to tell windows explorer to deal with JPS the same way as a JPG file, so I can view the thumbnail in explorer.


for example:
Take a JPG file in explorer and rename it with a JPS extension. Now how do you tell windows explorer to view the thumbnail of that?

a registry hack?

thank-you!

OPEN an Explorer window.
Choose Tools / File Types.
There you can manually add the correct extension so Windows will now see it as a genuine file type...

Whether Explorer is intuitive enough to create thumbnails for these well that's another story.

patio.  8-)Yes, i SUPPOSE windows XP isn't smart enough to figure it out.

It would be very nice to be able to view these thumbnails in windows explorer.  8-)Did you try the suggestion ? ?Yes.
