标签: windows geometry preview vector-graphics

I have *.geo vector geometry files (vector graphic file). This file format comes with Trumpf TruTOPS CAM application suite to handle laser cutting machines. *.geo file format contains geometry of single part and is internal for this suite. To create it one need convert AuotCAD *.dwg or *.dxf files.

I want to force this "GEO_Preview" app (which is associated with *.geo files to open preview in its window) to generate preview in windows explorer "preview side panel".

How to do that? So far i've read about some "registry hacks" and class id but don't understand a word. I'm asking you for step by step solution for this.

如果应用程序尚未编写为预览处理程序或任何其他类型的缩略图外壳扩展,则需要的内容远多于几个注册表项。

如果您无法为此文件类型编写自己的查看器,可以尝试强制此应用程序在您创建的窗口中作为子窗口使用。这总是有点像黑客,但它可能是一个有用的解决方案。 必须实现承载真实应用程序的preview handler部分...
