Gimp does also, if you preview from the file open/save dialog.

Ah, yes, true: I just tried. But it doesn't seem to do it for the full directory, only single files on request. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

I think it is konqueror. This way it is able to present you the previews.

No Konqueror doesn't use .xvpics. Konqueror thumbnails are stored in .thumbnails. Charles -- "...Unix, MS-DOS, and Windows NT (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)." (By Matt Welsh)

I thought the xvpics directories were created by GIMP. Every time you navigate in GIMP, to either 'Open' or 'Save' an image; it builds previews of the images already contained therein.

Right?

The original program that creates and uses .xvpics is XV. However, several other programs can create and/or use it. Gimp is an example of a program that create thumbnails in .xvpics. GQview an example of a program that can use it, if you enable it in its preferences. Charles -- "...and scantily clad females, of course. Who cares if it's below zero outside" (By Linus Torvalds)

xv, ... One of the most famous programs under Linux.

Yes, it is one of the programs I use, and I thought that was the one. But for some reason, it doesn't create thumb images in two directories I have, where the images are about 10 Mb png files. I don't know how to control that... Ah, I see now. I got them created now! It is under the buttom "Windows", menu "visual schnauzer" (whatever that means: jdictionary says it means "schnauzer" {recursive: see recursive}) , and then "rescan". I get a nice window with thumb images, and the directory ".xvpics/" got created and filled with about 5 Kb thumb images, and that is precissely what I wanted: I wanted to email those, instead of the big files ;-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
