Hi,
A slight refinement...
I have noticed that if the search results include multiple file types
(.jpg,.bib etc.) then the preview pane does show thumbnails. But if the
selection is entirely .jpg then the selected image is previewed and
"other files in this folder" are also offered.
Btw: I have removed .jpg from the list of file types to preview..
Any help would be welcome..
Tony
