- If you use a Windows PC, S and S Computing has a program called SewIconz which does what you want. I've used it for many years now.

Charlestown, IN, USAElaineCharlestown, IN, USAGazelle, Cameo, Pink Wishblade - CHECK OUT BUZZ TOOLS. that is what I use to use, back in my embroidery days.
- Thanks for the help. I think I may end up with the Buzz program eventually. It seems really nice. I am going with the S and S for now though as it will accomplish what I need to do at this time. thanks again!0·Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
- As an added feature, I noticed that the newest version of SewIconz can also show thumbnails of *.studio3 and *.studio files; although that is not working with all of my studio files, but just some of them.
ElaineElaineCharlestown, IN, USAGazelle, Cameo, Pink Wishblade - Many embroidery softwares offer the preview option in explorer, embird, Sands Computing, and Embrilliance. The cheapes of these is SewIconz from S&S. I however love Buzz Tools/Explore, I use it mainly to see inside zip files, but from what I know about Buzz Tools/Explore it doesn't have a preview option in windows Explore. Just it's own file manager software.

The installer version is the easiest way to get it working, but it’s only for Windows right now. The installer can setup file associations so you can double click on PES files to open them. It also includes an uninstaller.
The zip version includes just the program files, and should work with any system that has an appropriate version of .Net or Mono installed. It does not include a way to setup file associations, however.

- If you find a bug or think of a useful feature to add, please tell me about it through the contact form or the issue tracker on Github.
- Under Windows, Embroidery Reader requires the .NET Framework 4.0 to be installed in order to run.
- Under Linux and Mac, Embroidery Reader may run on Mono. (Most Linux distributions have Mono packages available in their repositories)
- It still needs a few tweaks to make all the graphical elements look right when running on Mono.
- I was able to run it on Xubuntu 8.04 by installing mono-runtime, libmono-microsoft8.0-cil and libmono-winforms2.0-cil. It can be run from a terminal by typing
mono embroideryReader.exe
, ormono embroideryReader.exe filename.pes
to open a PES file. - It will build on Ubuntu (and Mac, I assume) using Monodevelop. Thanks to Ryan Lovett for testing Embroidery Reader on Mac and also testing it with Monodevelop.
PES files are used to store designs for some embroidery machines. If you open one in a text editor like notepad, the first 4 characters will be #PES. The next 4 characters tell what version the file is.
As of version 1.3.0, the PES number doesn’t really matter. Embroidery Reader skips over all the PES classes and reads the PEC section at the end of the file.
