ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Adding Unicode support to existing SQL Server Database

« on: 2016-03-05 09:02:46 »

Hi,

having been a user of TP for a while I had switched to MS SQL Server database years ago. I understand that Unicode support would now be possible for filenames. The fact that for me it doesn't work might depend on the fact that the coresponding columd for the name in the database seems to be defined as varchar(255). Could I just redefine this to nvarchar(MAX) in the existing database (without bricking it) to fix the problem or is there another more advisable instruction, script or other?

Thank you all in advance for your help with this.

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Ghostscript

« on: 2016-02-27 04:01:29 »

Hi,

I was having intermittent trouble with PDF thumbnailing and display for a while. I now found out that if anywhere in the filename or path there is a § character that's what is causing the problem. I think it might be a problem of Ghostscript itself as I now verified that it happens also when TP is not involved.

Can somebody tell me whether it is known generic problem or it happens only to me (with my config)?

Or does anybody know about a workaround (other then renaming the file)?

I am using gs9.16 (32 or 64 bit) the latest stable TP10 and Windows 7.

Thank you all in advance
