How do I get Windows 7 x64 to show dwfx files in the preview pane?

[Anonymous]

I am running Win 7 x64
Windows Explorer preview pane - I managed to get it to preview pdf files
How do I get it to preview dwfx files?
This would be nice as DesignReview takes a long time to open so searching thru a large number of files becomes really time consuming

Thank you for your question.

Design Review does not support the thumbnail preview on 64bit OS; we will consider this requirement for possible inclusion in future releases.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Has Autodesk managed to address this issue in the 12 months since the last posting?

This seems to be another barrier to persuading Clients who are already firmly entrenched in the pdf camp to switch to the dwf format.

I think they will probably laugh at us when they see this!

Any chance of a remedy?

Thanks

Yes, this feature is a must have!

We had to upgrade memory and move to Windows 7 64-bit in order to run Inventor 2012, so it would be most appropriate if the DWF files we publish were viewable in the 64-bit thumbnails and Windows File Explorer preview pane!!! Otherwise, we cannot browse our published dwf files.

Has any heard or know if this issue has been resolved?

ADR development was frozen a couple of years ago: what you see is what you get with the last version, ADR2013, for now.
