Installation

The Thumbs7z distribution package is an ordinary Zip archive that contains the following three files:

  • Thumbs7z.64.dll – the 64-bit version of the plugin
  • Thumbs7z.32.dll – the 32-bit version of the plugin
  • ReadMe.txt – the user instructions

To install the plugin into the 7-Zip installation folder, you need to create the "Formats" subfolder. After that, copy Thumbs7z.64.dll or Thumbs7z.32.dll (depending on your 7-Zip edition) to that subfolder. If you do that, each time you launch 7-Zip, it will automatically find Thumbs7z and use it when opening files of the supported formats.
