I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're after, but here are a few thoughts. GIMP generates thumbnail previews of files you've edited in GIMP in a subfolder the image lives in, .xvpics. You can enter that directory and view the thumbnails with display, for example. Display will show .xcf files, though of course it can't handle layers and complicated stuff. File > Open in GIMP will show a preview when you click a picture if you've edited in GIMP beore. If not, click the picture name and click "Generate Preview" and it'll create a thumbnail for you. If you're in a directory of images, you can do: display 'vid:*' to display a thumbnail sheet of all files. Middle-clicking displays the image full-size. If you want to just show jpg's, the command would be display 'vid:*.jpg' You get the idea. HTH, Todd -- Anybody but a Republican or Democrat 2004
