I have put the full path name > of ImageDirect-6.3.7-Q8 for the image-dired thumb creation programs. You don't say what system you are using (M-x emacs-version, or better still use M-x report-emacs-bug) but there are two thumbnail modes in Emacs that use the convert program from ImageMagick. The other is thumbs.el. What happens in Dired if you mark several image files and do thumbs-dired-show-marked? -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
