There's already a tumme.el patch for video > files, and more types (PDF etc.) can be supported in the future. And, as I and someone else wrote, it's not the thumbnails themselves that constitute the feature - it's the extension of editing/browsing/viewing to new file types, including images. It sounds to me as if this is really an extension of Dired - or it should be. It sounds as if we're just extending our file editor/browser/viewer to provide features for other specific file types. Just as `Z' in Dired works on compressed files, so some Tumme keys work on image files. In that case, as I wrote a few minutes ago, this is, or this should be, akin to dired-x: an extension of Dired. And the name should then be dired-.
