Thumbnail pane

Overview

Thumbnail pane is used to display thumbnailed images. To view images in a particular folder, please select the folder in the Folder tree and PictureRipper will generate thumbnails for every supported media file.

PictureRipper makes thumbnails for almost every image type. Moreover, PictureRipper can make thumbnails for most of video files, such as MPEG and AVI. By default, PictureRipper does not generate thumbnails for movie files. To visually distinguish movie files among thumbnails, PictureRipper draws a light green border around movie thumbnails. To enable thumbnails for movies, please select the corresponding option in the Program Options Tools | Options | Miscellaneous | Create Thumbnails For Movies

For files that can not have thumbnails, like MP3 or ZIP files, PictureRipper will use a "Custom Type" icon.

If PictureRipper was not able to generate a thumbnail for a file, then "Default Thumbnail" icon will be used. The default thumbnail icon represents a frame with a question mark.
