Material preview does not show textures from pak archive

[Dreikblack]

Asset view shows it correct, but preview in tool tip and asset browser it's not

Material from pak0.pak which is originally in Quake\rerelease\id1, locates in project folder in my case

city4_2.zip

This issue slowdowns map making significantly for me

It seems to work fine with Zip files...

So the material file is in a folder, but the texture is still in the pak archive, right?

The textures themselves work fine, but the material preview does not load them because the preview app does not know to load those packages.

Yes

Okay, it works now.

Checked only now - and it's simply not creating thumbnail at all. Even for other usual materials if i clear all thumbnails.
For non material folders or in other project without quake textures thumbnail generator works

Tried to copy-past one of folder with Quake mats to other project - it works there. But if i copy-past from this test project folder with usual mats to main project it still does not generate thumbnails so i have no idea what logic beside this bug at all O_o

Found it was happening if project folder had zip file with materials
