I used to use the above methods until I bought "Thumbnailer" for about $39. Now when I open a file, my .pes file shows as the actual image of the design & I can save it to "my docs" & delete the rest (I have no use for other formats since I can also change to another). It is great to open my docs and see my designs all arrayed exactly as they stitch out. Makes it so convenient for selecting.
