A highly customizable image database/thumbnails/graphics editor application that makes it easy to catalog, locate, maintain and modify all your graphics and multimedia files.

Overview

ThumbsPlus is a graphic file viewer, locator and organizer that simplifies the process of finding and maintaining graphics, clip-art files, fonts and animations. It displays a small image (thumbnail) of each file. You can use ThumbsPlus to browse, view, edit, crop, launch external editors, and copy images to the clipboard. You can use drag-and-drop to organize graphics files by moving them to appropriate directories. ThumbsPlus will also create a slide show from selected graphics, and install bitmap files as Windows wallpaper.

You can print individual graphics files, or the thumbnails themselves as a catalog. ThumbsPlus can convert to several formats, either one at a time or in batch mode. You can also perform image editing in batch mode. ThumbsPlus will also convert metafile graphics to bitmaps (rasterize).

ThumbsPlus can process dozens of file types internally. Here's a comprehensive list and details on each format.

You can also use Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) to create thumbnails for and view any proprietary file type for which the server application is loaded on your system.

Hints & Tips

File Manager Drag & Drop
ThumbsPlus will act as a drag-and-drop client from File Manager. Simply drag file names from File Manager to the ThumbsPlus window (or icon). ThumbsPlus will open a view window for each file (up to the maximum number of view windows specified in the Viewer Options). You can also drag files from ThumbsPlus to other applications.

View Window Shortcuts
Double-clicking with the left mouse button in a view window will change it to full screen mode. Double-clicking with the right mouse button in a view window will close the window.

Metafile Viewing
If you're displaying true-color (24-bits) or standard VGA, turn on "Dither Metafiles" from the Viewer Options dialog box. In the case of true-color, Windows never dithers; in the case of standard VGA, the special code to create solid colors for the dithered colors cannot work.

Background Colors
For full-screen displays of 256-color images on a palette-based (256-color) display, select either black or white as the background color from the Viewer Options or the Slide Show Options dialog box, as ThumbsPlus steals the other system colors to more accurately display the image.

Internal Drag & Drop
Although ThumbsPlus has only a single window, you can drag files to directories not visible on the directory list by scrolling it after selecting the files you want to move or copy.
