Whatever your reaction is, please follow: Thanks, I could get it to work with those instructions. I think the more complex the required window configuration, the more annoying -- unlike traditional applications, users usually freely do multiple things at once in emacs, and carefully crafted window setups tend to quickly get messed up and/or interfere with the user's other tasks. Having one "primary window" where the cursor is and another slave window that gets popped up is manageable enough, and the most common model in emacs; is there a command to invoke tumme that just give you the "thumbnails" window, without requiring the "window configuration" and "dired" steps? If the thumbnails could actually be inserted in the dired window that would be coolest of all... then tumme would feel much more integrated (at the expensive of requiring more space for lots of thumbnails). [BTW, it seems to display lots of gratitous messages in the buffer when generating the thumbnails, like: (Shell command succeeded with no output) (New file) [2 times] (Shell command succeeded with no output) (New file) [2 times] Maybe it's using a high-level function where it should be using something lower-level...?] Thanks, -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
