Part of the problem may be that jpg images have a thumbnail image stored in the file and that is what Windows displays. Tiff does not (as far as I know). So Windows would have to load the entire image and resize it (make a thumbnail) for each image. This would take time and make displaying a folder with many images even slower. There may be a solution but either the thumbnail has to be created in advance (causing a possible disconnect between the thumbnail and an edited image) or the thumbnail has to be created at use and slow display. Good luck Randy |

Part of the problem may be that jpg images have a thumbnail image stored in the file and that is what Windows displays. Tiff does not (as far as I know). TIFF files can contain multiple image formats, including a small preview image, albeit not necessarily. So Windows would have to load the entire image and resize it (make a thumbnail) for each image. This would take time and make displaying a folder with many images even slower. There may be a solution but either the thumbnail has to be created in advance (causing a possible disconnect between the thumbnail and an edited image) or the thumbnail has to be created at use and slow display. Windows XP displays TIFF thumbnails reasonably quickly, and normally caches the result for reuse. -- Best regards, John Navas Panasonic DMC-FZ8 (and several others) |

If you're running Windows XP SP2, and thumbnail isn't working properly, you might want to try installing the Windows Imaging Component http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=8E011506-6307-445B-B950-215DEF45DDD8&displaylang=en -- Best regards, John Navas Panasonic DMC-FZ8 (and several others) |

ST Thumbnails Explorer won't do what the OP wants. Perhaps, but I'll bet one of them will. The point was to encourage a bit of simple research rather than expecting someone else to do the work for you.

ST Thumbnails Explorer won't do what the OP wants. Perhaps, but I'll bet one of them will. What odds? I know of only a very few packages that enhance Explorer thumbnail capability, none of which work with Windows 2000. The point was to encourage a bit of simple research rather than expecting someone else to do the work for you. Self-reliance is rarely a bad thing - especially when the information is so easy to find. Fair enough, but how is it on point to give the OP advice that doesn't help, and how do you know the OP hasn't tried and failed? This is a tough nut to crack. -- Best regards, John Navas Panasonic DMC-FZ8 (and several others) |
