Why KRA files show no thumbnail in Windows
Windows does not know the Krita format, and Krita only adds File Explorer thumbnails when its own shell extension is installed and working.
Design Previewer reads the previews Krita saves in every file. Where Krita’s own thumbnails are installed they stay in charge, and Design Previewer fills the gap everywhere else.
The whole painting
The preview pane shows the full flattened canvas Krita stores, not a postage stamp.
KRZ and ORA too
Krita’s archive format and OpenRaster files from GIMP, MyPaint and others.
Light on your PC
Folder thumbnails use the small preview inside each file; the full canvas is read only for the file you select.
