Create thumbnail icons for your image files
August 27th, 2008
How many image files do you have on your computer? Zillions? With various pieces of clipart, digital photos, and more, you've got a huge pile of GIFs, JPEGs, PNGs, and more all over your hard drive. They've probably all got just plain old generic file icons, making it a little challenging to figure out which file is which. It'd be nice if you could assign custom icons to your images.
Xentient Thumbnails is a tool that lets you do just that. Instead of every file looking just the same, it helps you to make thumbnail images of your graphics files. Now instead of a generic JPEG icon, the photo of your vacation in Yosemite has a thumbnail image of Half Dome, so you don't have to scratch your head, trying to figure out what in the world HPIM0418.JPG could be a picture of.
A free download, Xentient Thumbnails is a Windows application. It's at home on anything from Windows 98 up through Vista.
