GIMP 2.6.8 Portable - how to allow Windows Explorer show files thumbnails/miniatures?ununpentium - February 23, 2010 - 5:19pm
Hello, thanks a lot for portableapps.com service. But I need some help about file browsing: when I open images folders in Windows XP SP3, Explorer doesn't show the image-miniature of the files, even if I use the "preview" option in the view menu of Explorer's window (s). Is there any way in order to let Windows recognize the format? Thanks! ( categories: )

Only certain formats
With Explorer you can only get it to preview certain formats without a great deal of difficulty (and GIMP doesn't have the capability). So if you're using XCF, you can't get previews.

why not use XnView?

ok
thanks for your prompt replies!
About XnView: it's a good app., but I need an image editor. Nor I can save images in .psd format. GIMP supports Photoshop's format, and I installed a small application that allow me to see the thumbnails of .psd files in Windows' Explorer:

but i can't use some effects in the layers with GIMP if I want to save files in Photoshop format.
Bye.
Hi!
I was under the impression
that you wished for an alternative to Windows' Explorer. XnView can view Photoshop format. I just checked.
