What it does.
Capture on save
Ctrl+S, Save As or the Save Preview button stores your current 3D view inside the .blend file.
A clean image
The timeline, Outliner, toolbar and sidebar stay out of the capture; turn overlays off for a cleaner view.
Choose the resolution
Store a 512, 1024 or 2048-pixel preview, rendered at twice the size first for smoother edges.
Browse in Explorer
Set the folder to Large or Extra large icons and each project shows its own view.
Before you buy.
