Windows Thumbnail Software

[jjonn3]

I am looking for a Windows program that will allow my to print folder titles and thumbnails of the files (mostly jpg and pdf) inside of it - basically to make a visual "inventory" sheet so I can easily check off what I have and what is missing.

Prefer a free one but if a paid one is much better that would be fine as well.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Do you mean the type of view you'd get if you viewed the thumbnails in the file manager and made a screenshot? Except doing all your files at once instead a bunch of screen shots.

Doing it for image files is easy at least for one folder at a time, and listing names (no image) is easy for non-image files, but I'm not yet sure what will easily do both.

Are the files in a lot of different folders?

I saw this in a search -- at least for images. However, it seems to do one folder at a time.

If you want a list of all files, but don't need the images, I can get that.

A photo manager will print a "contact sheet", a page with thumbnails of all image files in the folder. I use FastStone Image Viewer, but they're probably all the same. It seems to do only image files (jpg, gif, etc), not pdf

Treesize (free version) will list all folders and files, but only the names and attributes, not images. By default it will not expand the folders to show all levels, but you just need to click on the folders for which you want to see all the files. The program is designed to show you the sizes so you can manage the space, but it also gives you a printable list (send to the list to PDF)

I've been using ThumbsPlus since it was a Windows 3.1 program in 1992. Version 11 is on the way. I've paid for every new upgrade and will again. I've even gotten it to run on Linux with WINE which is awesome.

Thanks for the suggestions - I remember the names of both FastStone and Thumbs Plus from many computers ago - very impressive that both are still in business and updating!

Basically I am looking for something like a contact sheet so I can do a manual check comparing digital to physical archives to make sure both contain the same material - and it looks like either of these might work.

I will try downloading and checking them out this weekend.

I appreciate the help!

I just know something about FastStone,it only worked on my computer for a shore time.
