High Sierra 10.13.3 Not Displaying Sony A7R3 Thumbnails

The Camera Raw data sheet Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra - Apple Support states that Sony A7R3 (Sony Alpha ILCE-7R III) is supported but Sony A7R3 thumbnails are not displayed within High Sierra. I've updated my software but the files are still displayed as generic icons (see below). The files will open with Preview. The files also open with Photoshop and Lightroom.

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

Appreciate all the quick replies.

Yes, I am asking about the ability to view thumbnails on a Finder level..not importing into an application like Apple Photos or Lightroom or Bridge or Capture 1 first. Being able to quickly scan through a hundred or more photos before making selects is a necessary part of a professional workflow. The A7R2 and A7R1 had no problem doing this.

This is a discussion from 2 months ago and hasn't yet been resolved.

And

Does your camera embed thumbnails into the RAW files? Without an embedded thumbnail the Finder will only display a generic icon.

Depending on the answer to that unanswered question there may be no problem on the Mac at all but a user setting problem or Sony design problem with the A7R3 that is different from the A7R1 and A7R2
