      Generate Thumbnails for .PAT Files

      How to get thumbnails for pattern files in AVAIL

      Requirements

      • AVAIL Desktop version 4.5.3 or later
      • Edit permissions to the Channel

      Steps

      • Index the PAT files into a Channel
      • Select or multi-select PAT files
      • Right-click, select Manage Thumbnails > Virtualize Thumbnails

      virtualize single pat file-gif

       

      Or, to process an entire channel at once (note, this will virtualize all files in the channel):

      • Select the More Options button  in the top right
      • Select Manage Thumbnails > Virtualize Thumbnails

      virtualize full channel pat files-gif

       

      Additional Notes

      If a .pat file has multiple patterns defined within it, the first pattern in the file will be used as the thumbnail.
