Thumbnails view with some properties

Post by spooky »

I know that thumbnail view should be just that, but I would love to see some extra info in that grid format, not all properties like paths would look clean, but some like the ones I included in this example I made in 2 minutes with photoshop look compact and useful

Not quite the same as a detail panel, my suggestion implies showing all files properties in a general view, without bringing focus on a particular one. Every property in a line break below the file's name.

Ah, I see.
A bit like XYplorer (a file manager) does it. Side by side looks even better imo.

It would be even more useful if everything could incorporate seconds as well as full date and time.

I will consider an option to show extra details in the thumbnail view.

Thank you for the suggestions.



For now, please hover over a thumbnail to view the properties.
The properties shown are determined from the visible columns when in details view.

Hey @void, are you still considering this? I feel like a thumbnails + details view could really draw more people into the software, those looking to replace their file explorer

Total Commander also allows you to configure more properties below the thumbnail :)

yeah I think that will be cool to have but is it really practical when sorting through duplicates or important files rather than just tagging them with a certain background colour ?

How do you tag with a background color? Tried to look for that feature but couldn't find it.

A detail pane is still on my TODO list.

Dupe group colors
