No Thumbnails by ayjay on 09-05-2005 at 10:24 AM

Howdy!

I decided to buy a nice cheap computer for in my room because when I'm doing long stuff for school it gets annoying using a laptop.

Anywho, that's not really important :P but on the new comp I can't get jpeg thumbnails to appear just in normal folders. It's fine for other image types but with jpegs it just shows the icon of the program I use to open them.

Any help on getting la thumbnails back would be good thanks :)

perhaps you should change the program you use to open them? i dont know if that would affect it but it may do...


RE: No Thumbnails by ayjay on 09-05-2005 at 11:02 AM

First thing I tried :P

might sound obvious but it is set to thumbnails right? :p nah just joking i'm stumped, it works fine for me! what OS are you using?

installing a image viewer normally works for me.

i recomend http://www.faststone.org/ fast stone image viewer..


you dont need to use it, but having it installed should allow it to have thumbnails.

Thanks but didn't work :/

Hmm...

Using Windows ME :(
Can't see why it'd make a difference though.


RE: No Thumbnails by lordy on 09-05-2005 at 11:22 AM

well different OS's have different options! i havent used ME in... forever so i cant remember anything of what was in there sorry mate


RE: No Thumbnails by ayjay on 09-05-2005 at 11:29 AM

I know they have different options but I think thumbnails are pretty standard :P

As well as the fact that thumbnails work on ME on my laptop :D

yeh i realise that the thumbnails are there in ME, but different things in ME would affect them differently than in XP etc.
