:(

For thumbnails, about half of my HDRIs have .jpg thumbnails with the same names in the same folder. And that's basically how thumbnails in the library work too. I would be satisfied on that front if it displayed that non-HDRI thumbnail image and not the real thing.

I have considered that possibility, but since only a small fraction of my own HDRIs include a JPEG preview, that wouldn't actually solve the problem. In addition, many of the JPEG previews don't even match the HDR/EXR image names, having random suffixes that don't follow any rule I could recognize. Some others have names that don't match at all. I want a real solution that works for all cases, or else it's not worth doing. I am pretty sure that if I included a half-working preview, that would result into more complains - so please, consider that. 

As it stands, I consider this release a VICTORY when Poser Python still cannot load any HDRI images, and I still got creative enough to bypass the broken API and finally get this working when nobody else could. I couldn't get everything I wanted, but it's still a VICTORY to release the VERY FIRST script to handle genuine 32-bits HDRI in Poser history. Fully automated, 1-click solution. Domes are now a thing of the past, where they belong. This is a GAME CHANGER for Poser renders! 😁

Who knows - maybe one day Bondware will give us the HDRI previews we wanted? My ticket is still open at the devs internal threads. Until that happens, there is no real solution for this. Believe me - I want this as much as you do. :)
