- I have found MysticThumbs a longstanding success at generating thumbnails for file formats not supported natively by Windows. What I value most is its smooth blend with explorer, the fact that does not block drives when I eject them, and its useful tray icon that indicates when it's working on new thumbnails. For its usefulness and reliability I am a happy customer! hermes3por3 • Jan 2017 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees
