Win 11 Pro....I had a major disaster....I accidently deleted about 5000 photos of many subjects taken over many years.......I thought they were backed up on Google Photos....but alas and alak....they were not.....
Several iterations of various data recovery programs....(File Scavanger was the most successful)......I have been able to restore about half of my photos.....I put the restored files on a separate SATA drive....and mounted it in my W11 box.....
When I open the photos drive (H: in this case).......I see icons for the photos.....I do not see any of the images themselves......this is for both JPG and DNG files.....Right now I am using
Picassa Photo Viewer to open the files and see the content......BUT the content is NOT visible UNLESS I open them in Picassa....or some other photo viewer application....I use Picassa Photo Viewer because I'm used to it......
So question is......How can I make the file icon show the actual photo content of the file...without having to "open" the file in some photo viewer....????
Hope I made this "understandable".....
Many thanks
Steve
