Show previews of SVG files in Everything

[void]

To show previews of SVG files in Everything (and Windows Explorer):

• From the Start menu, search for: regedit
• Right click Registry Editor and click Run as administrator.
• In the Registry Editor, navigate to:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.svg
• Create a new key called: ShellEx
• Create a new key called: {8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f}
• Set the (Default) value data to: {f8b8412b-dea3-4130-b36c-5e8be73106ac}

Notes:
{8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f} is the Preview Handler key.
{f8b8412b-dea3-4130-b36c-5e8be73106ac} is the Internet Explorer Preview Handler



To show the preview pane:

• In Everything, from the View menu, check Preview (Alt + P).

Would you consider adding a "Power Toys" tab into Everything's settings that performs these registry hacks for us with a button click? Such as associating various file types to the various preview engines?

The question "how to show SVG previews?" comes up often..

I will consider an Advanced / "Power Toys"-like tab.

Thank you for the suggestion.

from another user's post that the Preview Handler key {8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f} can be used to show previews of SVG files in Everything and Windows Explorer.

The user also discovered that MS PowerToys can enable SVG thumbnail view in the native Windows Explorer.

The PowerToys preview handler for SVG works fine also for Everything.
No need to manipulate the registry or anything else.
