-=PCTechTalk=- Re: thumbnails of images in documents

Hi Sal,
    Unfortunately, if it's not an image file, there's no way that I know of 
to do this.  You can have the icons set to show a small version of certain 
types of image files, but not that of text or documents.

    However, I can recommend a non-free file viewer that has gotten me out 
of many jams such as this.  It's called QuickView Plus.  It used to owned by 
Jasc, but is now owned by Avantstar.  I have been using this program since 
version 4 (back in the late 1990's, I think) and now it's up to at least 
10.x (the one I updated to sometime last year).  It can show you the 
contents of over 300 different filetypes, including all text based ones. 
Within the program, it has an Explorer-like interface so you can load up one 
file within a folder and then just go right down the list on the left hand 
side through anything else that's in that folder.  It sure beats opening up 
each one manually just to see what's in it.        :)

Peace,
Gman
