reinstalled my Win7 and both Storylines. In the past my Windows explorer previewed the first slide of the Storyline projects - but now I only see Storyline icon. Any ideas? All other previews (JPG, PNG) works fine.
I'm not sure I'm clear on what is occuring with your set up - if you've installed Storyline 1 and Storyline 2 on the same system, they both will work but you'll see the icon always appear as Storyline 2, and by default it will open in Storyline 2 as well.
I know both SL1 and SL2 can be installed on the same computer simultaneously - this is working fine.
My question is probably related more to windows7 setup then to SL - but as all other previews are working just fine it puzzles me.
I photoshoped the "before&now" image. Before reinstalling Windows I had (in the lower left corner of Windows explorer) a "preview" icon of the first slide of the SL project (showing me the first slide of the SL project), which enabled me to quickly select the proper SL projects based on my recollection of the content. After reinstalling Windows I now see the default SL project icon - which is frustrating if you have 200+ projects.
Yes, that looks specific to Windows, so it's not something I'd be able to offer assistance with. I also have Windows 8, so I haven't ever seen something like that.
I typically view everything in the list and details format - so not sure my set up would be helpful to you? You could try looking to changing it to the large icons to see if that helps you see things in an easier way.

Hi,
can you please make a printscreen of Explorer in Windows8? And your "folder options / view". Thank you.
