Hi Ramesh,

I'm looking to see a preview of the highlighted image file (jpg, bmp, gif,
etc). I have explorer set to View/Details but I don't get the small
thunbnail in the lower left corner of the right pane.

I can change to View/Thumbnails and get a thumbnail of every file instead of
the details but that is very slow in a folder with a lot of images.
