JPG *contents* as icons in details view

Hi forum,

there used to be a now abandoned software called Xentient Thumbnails that would show bitmaps as micro thumbnails in any list or details view system-wide (even in file open/save dialogs), of course also in Windows Explorer or in Dopus:

I remember that this was incredibly useful. Unfortunately, Xentient Thumbnails seems to be unable to run on 64 bit.

Question: can Dopus do that (i.e. show bitmaps' contents as icons in details view in a lister)?

Thanks

Huh? No way to edit one's post, not even for a minute or so, or until there was a response?

Very annoying and unusual, almost unseen nowadays, for a forum. Disproportionate, if you ask me :cry:

Anyway, I was only going to change the screenshot for a better version:

Try SageThumbs instead of Xentient Thumbnails.

Never mind, just found that Sage Thumbs beautifully does it:

kundal was faster!

In Opus 11 you also have the Thumbnail column which can give you a similar result.

Sounds great Jon, however I can't seem to find a way to enable this column anywhere...

...was I going to write until I saw that this is currently a beta feature :slight_smile:

Thank you
Best regards

This code will toogle between details mode, the new mixed mode with thumbnails & large thumbnails:

@ifset:VIEW=Thumbnails Set VIEW=Details @ifset:COLUMNSTOGGLE=thumbnail Set COLUMNSREMOVE=thumbnail Set VIEW=Thumbnails @ifset:else Set VIEW=Details Set COLUMNSADD=thumbnail(0,96)

Whoa btw., the changes/improvements in v.11 are overwhelming!

I especially like the many improvements regarding toolbar customization.

A button to enable the thumbnail column is one of the first one you'll find if you explore the Opus 11 default toolbars.

Re post editing, the reasons are very old and explained in the FAQs.

Yes, that's probably why they seem inappropriate by today's standards. A two minute edit window hurts no one but heals many unnecessary errors, providing for better post and forum quality, overall.

We often read threads within seconds of them being posted and would never see your edits. We've tried it more than once and it just doesn't work.

There's no problem caused by having a follow-up post add or correct details, and that ensures everyone sees them.

You can't edit tweets or emails either but people somehow survive. :slight_smile:

Editing is allowed in most of the forum, too.

Leo! You edited your post seconds after I read it!

I did, on purpose.

Thank you for proving my point.

I know :sunglasses:
