Thumbnail used as preview in folder

Post by Guest »

Hi,

thanks for providing this excellent program. I use it quite often. But there is one thing I just cannot figure out. Maybe someone can help me. How can I determine witch pic inside a folder is used as thumbnail or preview for this folder? It seems to be the first one. But if I change the names and get another pic as first one, the preview stays the same. Is there a way to determine wich pic should be the preview?

Thanks for your help

It's the first one found by the system not name sorted. Perhaps it will be good to have the first one alphabetically

Really, my folders show no preview like in explorer. Maybe because my folder contains links to key pics which are in several sub folders? The links show thumbs tho. If only you can work like explorer. :| explorer show thumbs inside a folder for links.

Yes indead, this would solve the problem. In that case the user can put a zero ahead of the name of the pic he wants to have as preview or he makes a copie named 000 or something like that.
