Recently migrated from a G4 iMac to a MacBook. When opening a file, no longer see a preview of paint or drawing document (.cwk files). Only previews available are docs saved in JPEG format. Have tried saving documents under every file type possible. Can take the.cwk document(s) and transfer to the G4, can see the preview when opening. Suggestions appreciated.
