(BTW, if you call tumme-dired again, window 1 is split even further, which is clearly a bug). I find the current tumme interface rather difficult to use. Instead of displaying the thumbnails in a separate window, I'd suggest 1. Displaying them in a speedbar. or 2. Displaying them in a tooltip (I hacked together an implementation of this to see what it looks like, and it seems to look OK).
