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
