Finder preview – just universal thumbnail (for JPG, PNG, PDF, etc)
Hi all,
I'm experiencing another case of a situation, the thumbnails for documents (images, pdfs, etc.) are no longer showing, and the display is a universal generic icon.
I have a iMac 27", 2017, running on the latest Mojave (10.14.6) –
Everything was moved on this iMac from Time Machine backup.
I have tried everything from the list below:
- I have tried deleting com.apple.finder.plist several times, problem persists
- Finder's "show icon preview" is on; I have tried unchecking and re-checking the box, problem persists
- I have created a Test user and downloaded an image- the thumbnail WORKS in the test user
- The main user on my computer has permission to read and write
- I have put my computer in safe mode, problem persists
- Removed apps from launching when booting up Mac, problem persists
- Reset NVRAM, problem persists
- Relaunched preview, problem persists
The problem persists though.
I've also tried everything from similar threads:
Finder preview thumbnail not displaying (… - Apple Community
In addition, I've also tried another user with admin rights and moved some of affected documents to Users/Shared, but without any progress
Thanks for a tip – it's really annoying, to not be able preview of images or PDFs
