Hello, I encountered the following problem - when installing the steam version of the Krita program, all files of the .kra or .ora format do not have thumbnails in the system, but only a general display of the Krita icon.

I want to understand whether it is possible to somehow get the display of thumbnails of files with a preview in the explorer. I have already tried to find the cause of the problem on the Internet, but all options with setting the view in the explorer with the display of thumbnails and not icons, or setting the application by default do not give anything.

Here is an example of such a display of files in the system.

Hey there Denis,

I'm the one managing Krita on Steam over the last ~6 years, but I'm not sure exactly what can be done on our end with regard to automatically supporting Windows File Explorer KRA thumbnail previews.

There is an extension for the Windows File Explorer that adds support for this (https://github.com/alvinhochun/KritaShellExtension), but I don't know if/how we could automatically install this extension via Steam. It may be possible, I just don't know right now.

As such I can only recommend that you manually install the extension yourself, but we will keep this bug open as a wishlist item for future reference, and if we figure out that it can be done then we will certainly try it out in the future.

Thanks for the report!
