Thumbnail/folder views

I am so new I don't even know where to go to ask for help. My initial question is, I hope, a simple one.

Many editors can be configured to show a thumbnail list of selected files and/or folder content across the bottom of the display, with the choice of image to be edited made by clicking one or more thumbnails. I have no idea how to configure GIMP in that manner and searches in help for "thumbnails" yield no results.

I would very much appreciate some help setting up this basic configuration so I can begin to work my way around the other features. Thank you for your help!

Hi William!

GIMP doesn't really have a "thumbnail/filmstrip" view like you might be accustomed to in other software. It focuses on a primary job "image editing" vs. "image management" in some way.

You could use another program to do a better job of managing, sorting, and filtering your image assets and in some cases link that program to use GIMP for any editing operations.

Also, this mailing list is normally used for discussing the website development. Normally questions like this would get better exposure (and more responses) on the GIMP-user list: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

You can see all the mailing lists here: http://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html

Hope this helps (even though it's likely not the answer you're looking for...).

Hello William.

This is the Gimp Web list, where we discuss all kinds of issues regarding the GIMP website.

Please consider asking your question on the Gimp User Mailinglist, which is more centered towards problems with using Gimp.

Beyond that there are tons of gimp forums out there, if this is more suitable for you then you might go looking for help there.

I hope this points in the right direction, Simon
