Folder views

[Spooner]

Is there a way in XP to make it so that anything labeled .jpg or .gif or .tiff will show in "thumbnail" view?

I want all my picture folders viewed this way

i encountered something similar today. i was wondering if there was a view that allowed for word document images to show a preview of the document.

i thought i remembered reading something about that somewhere but i can't seem to locate it.

if i change it to "thumbnail" view... it remembers it for that specific folder, but i want to do it for all my image folders

you can do it the manual way. just reset for all the image folders you have. 🙂

i'm trying to avoid doing it manually.

Tools > folder options > view is the only way I know to do it.

that only does it for the folder you're on

i dont think so.
apply to all folders will do it for ALL folders which you dont want.
AFAIK, i havent seen this.

Nautilus in gnome with totem installed will do this automatically, even with video files. Linux rocks.. 🙂

i've been trying to find the answer to this question for awhile now and i dont' think it's possible.

what if you have a mixture of jpg's and txt's and doc's all in one folder. what then does it do?

Umm... the thumbnail preview area never shows .txts or .docs anyway. They would for jpg or gif.
