New install of a 1.0 client, I haven't had a chance to test the same on my RC4 server yet but 1.0 fails to correctly show TIF files with ZIP compression. It does manage to handle TIF with no compression or LZW.

TIF with ZIP is modern format for TIF storage and makes an enormous difference on large pictures and is almost essential for photography if you want to avoid proprietary formats or lossy formats. To be fair Windows Explorer also fails to handle said files.

 

[Paranoid Delusion]

To be fair Windows Explorer also fails to handle said files.

So you need to find the program that will integrate this ability into Windows, then MP can use it.
