portable ver. 14.4  behaves same way as the installed - in extension plugin manager are the "Picture Tools" and "MCPictureViewer" missing

log is in attachement  - no error  (now ver 14.1)

Sorry I meant portable for 14.1 or 14.2, The new picture viewer was added in 14.3 We already establish that the new picture viewer does not work on Windows 8.
If that work then it is a configuration issue

dech:
WOW
in portable 14.2 it WORKS  :)  ...eeee what is the conclusion?  :)  is there way it can work in last version...for me on win8 ?

btw...as i see you are the maker himself  8) ...now-when the VIEW works - i see that the viewer is not made as i supposed it will be -
1) could you please add some simple tools like zoom/rotation (not edit image file but just adjust the view on the file ) to the PREVIEW tab ?
like you have for PDF files (well rotation is missing there too - this would be there appreciated too)

2) is there way how to hide the info panel below image/pdf file - it takes space - the less is for image/pdf

see picture

So then it is a configuration issue in your downgraded 14.1. 
Configuration for installed version is stored at C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\
if you can try to delete just FileTypes.xml. and se if that help. else you might need to delete them all.

Look like the new picture viewer in 14.3 does not like Win8.. might be an easy fix, maybe. There will be a new beta for 14.5 today that does something to one win8 issue I found.. but there might be more, Im not sure.
I don't have a machine with that old OS so I cant fully test that.

1) No MC has no control over how the preview of PDF looks like..  It uses the Preview Handler that are install into the Windows Shell (Windows Explorer) MC has no control of the button inside it. It can all depends on what preview handler for PDF is installed.

2) You can edit the Preview template in Menu > Configuration > Preview Customization.. However I recommend to backup the DataPreviewTemplates.xml file first. since it is very easy to mess up the templates
and for PDF it is the "Windows Preview Handler" that needs to be modified. This also changes the template for all other format that are handled and shown by the Windows Preview Handlers. (pdf , ms office documents)

so i have deleted the FileTypes.xml  and it works (viewer - F1 button)!  ver 14.2.  x64  (installed ver, not portable)

i will check later the 1) 2) issues

thank you for support
