REQ: Show first thumbnail as preview

I like to suggest an additional option:
"Show first thumbnail as preview", which means that the first image of the active folder will be shown as preview.
I personally would like that behaviour by default, but perhaps other users won't like it - therefore the option.

Where should that thumbnail be shown? Instead of the folder icon? In the Preview panel? Should it be the first thumbnail of the current dir? Or a thumb of the first image of the folder under the cursor?

Like in ACDSee, four images from the folder. Here is how it looks like:

I think Lesmo16 meant that the first image should be automatically highlighted when XnView sarts up, at the moment nothing has focus.

Wow, sorry, I understood it my way. But anyway, it will be a good feature to show thumbnails on the folder icon.

Yes, that's what I've meant - and the highlighted thumbnail should be shown as preview.

But certainly make that an option, if implemented. When I start XnView in a folder with
a.tif (100 MB)
z.jpg (10 KB)
I certainly do not want XnView to automatically select the TIFF and show a preview of it.

Exactly. Bad idea.

I guess, this is the reason (and really reasonable) why xnview doesn't show first thumbnail as preview at start...
Lesmo, you can just press any arrow at start...

Sure I can - but I won't - because I have to do it not only at start-up but everytime changing the folder too.
And remember - I've requested it as
option.

Ok, but for a future version of XnView

Fine! Hope you have a kind of todo list.

I did start a XnView 1.81 Wish List in the main forum if you're interested.
