Hi, I am using the Steam version on Windows 10 and have an issue where normal files just don’t get given proper thumbnails in the file explorer:

Is there a setting I missed or some other mad science I have to perform to get proper thumbnails for PNG and JPG files?

For some other context:

Use(d) a slightly modified version of this [regedit script](https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/1070#issuecomment-598649330)to assign Aseprite as the Default for .ASE, .ASEPRITE, .PNG and .JPG. (Simply setting it to Aseprite.exe would always open a new window when opening a file by double clicking, instead of just a new tab.)

I am using [Aseprite Thumbnails for Windows](https://aseprite.org/thumbnails) and [deleted HKEY\_CLASSES\_ROOT\AsepriteFile\TypeOverlay](https://community.aseprite.org/t/is-it-possible-for-aseprite-to-show-the-aseprite-icon-in-the-corner-of-the-thumbnail/22072/3).

Edit: Version is V1.3.15.4-x64
