I want to preview epub files in preview pane of windows 7. How to view epub file in preview pane. 32 & 64 bit image thumbnails for Windows Explorer.

If there are more than one images in the EPUB archive, the first available picture will be used as a thumbnail. You can open the EPUB with 7zip (or temporarily rename it to.ZIP to open it with xplorer²) and make sure your desired book thumbnail image is first on the root folder of the EPUB. EPUB book information as column handler AFAIK there's no generic ebook property handler to supply information like title and book author. To make our life easier let's use the WDX plugin that can be used via xplorer² / Total Commander. This plugin does all popular ebook formats so we go a long way with just one installation. Here are step by step instructions: • Download WDX plugin. This is a zip archive that doesn't need installation.

• Right click on eBookInfoWDX.zip (say it's in the DOWNLOADS folder) and choose Extract all menu command to uncompress the plugin and note the extraction path e.g. C: Users You Downloads eBookInfoWDX. Obrazec shutochnogo diploma pensionera. • Download xplorer² (if you don't have it). • Press key or use File > Browse for plugins menu and browse the folder where you extracted the plugin (step 2) • Choose the plugin file eBookInfo.wdx (you can ignore the x64 warning) and click OK to import it. Click on Apply button to save the changes. Steps 1-5 are rather tedious, but you only have to do them one time.

When you restart xplorer² you will find columns called Title.eBookInfo, Author.eBookInfo and others, which you can select with Select columns menu command (right click on a pane's column header). With these EPUB handlers and the thumbnail/attribute handlers for (AZW, MOBI, PRC), we can have an all mod cons shell experience for all popular ebook formats as such: Figure 1.
